"Brother, I don't know how many soldiers will be trained over there in Nanxiang?"

Huang Chong asked.

"Plus the four hundred people who went back from Jincheng, and draw another six hundred people, enough for a thousand people."

Sixteen hundred out of more than 30,000 people served in the army, which sounds like a lot, because most countries in later generations generally did not exceed one to one hundred.

But for now, that's not much.

Later generations said that one of the evidences of the old demon Zhuge of the Shu Han Dynasty was that the ratio of soldiers to civilians was one to ten, which led to the misery of the people of Shu Han.

But in fact, whether it is the Han Dynasty, or the Eastern Wu, or Cao Wei, the ratio of soldiers to civilians basically fluctuates up to and below 1 to ten, so if this is really to be counted as evidence of the crime, in fact, everyone is like a bird, and everyone is fighting with all their strength.

As for the statement that the people are not living well...... In particular, in the entire Three Kingdoms era, there was still a place where people could make a living?

It can only be said that it depends on which person in power has better means to govern people's livelihood.

So in this comparison, the soldiers and civilians in Nanxiang are one to twenty, which is indeed not much.

But that's not how the account is calculated, because Nanxiang is a place that lays golden eggs, and too many people are transferred, once it affects the normal production order, even 10,000 soldiers may not be able to make up for it.

In addition, this time in Yueshan, a part of the business backbone was transferred to build various basic work in Yueshan, and the manpower in Nanxiang was already slightly tight.

Fortunately, Feng Yong had the foresight to open the school, and after opening the school, he used it for students during the day and for employees at night.

The development of night schools, the open training system of various technologies, and the unique atmosphere of "passing on and helping to lead" in Nanxiang have allowed Feng Yong to reserve a considerable part of the technical backbone in his hands.

In addition, those slave workers at the bottom have a strong desire to become naturalized, which can make up for the gap caused by the transfer of backbones, so that the technical backbone can quickly bring new people out again.

It can be said that Nanxiang is now the grassroots talent cultivation base in Feng Yong's hands, and even the soldiers there are future grassroots officers in the hands of Nanxiang generals, and they can't draw blood from it, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses.

It's just that the training cost of this grassroots backbone in the army is a bit high, which makes Feng Yong feel a little distressed.

"Disabled soldiers who can no longer go to the battlefield, pay attention to the arrangements after they are injured, and if they are willing, then try to arrange them in Yueshan, after all, this is a newly opened place, and the horse farm needs a lot of stewards."

"Explain the reason to them, if you go back to Nanxiang, although you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but in the long run, the future may not be as good as in Yueshan."

There is life and there is death, and there is injury and disability.

The development and construction of the Yue Dynasty requires a large number of managers, grassroots management personnel, and even backbones, and retired disabled soldiers who are quite organized and can understand commonly used words are extremely suitable candidates.

This can be regarded as finding a new way out for them.

After all, it is necessary to let others have no worries, so that they can rest assured that they can go into battle to kill the enemy, Feng Yong has always spared no effort in this regard: when others go into battle and work hard, he can live a small life in the rear with peace of mind.

"Also, when I return to Qiongdu this time, I must remember to let the people below discuss, especially those casualties, how to better kill the enemy, how to better avoid casualties, and write them down."

"Compile it into a book, and then promote it in the whole army, this matter is very important, Zishi and Yizhi, the two of you must grasp this work together, you must grasp it yourself, and you must not fake others."

Learning from experience can make people grow better, and learning lessons can make people grow faster.

If you want to make Nanxiang soldiers die less, it is necessary to carry out a post-war summary.

This is where the Nanxiang soldiers are different from the soldiers of this era, they don't have to be like other soldiers, they need to sum up their own experience from the battlefield more than a dozen times or even dozens of times.

How many people have survived from the battlefield more than a dozen times, or even dozens of times?

In this comparison, the hard work of training in the past few years is actually worth it.

"No."

Huang Chong and Wang Xun responded in unison.

This time, the Nanxiang soldiers were dispatched, they acted quickly, they must go forward in every battle, and they were not afraid of death, which is enough to show that the brother's military drill is a rare art of war, and it also shows that the brother is very strategic in his chest.

Although some of the rules of the brother's neutrality in the army make people feel very strange, but I think it must have a deep meaning.

"The rest will be done according to the rules set by Nanxiang earlier."

Nanxiang had actually formulated detailed rules for these situations a long time ago, but this was the first time that Nanxiang's soldiers had officially dispatched on a large scale, and Feng Yong seemed to attach great importance to it, so he nagged for a long time.

Huang Chong and Wang Xun stood there and listened carefully, without a trace of slackness.

The authority of the elder brother is getting heavier and heavier, and it's okay to talk about it on weekdays, but when it comes to business, it always makes people feel that they are not the same person as usual.

After explaining this, Feng Yong walked to the side of the canal, washed the mud off his feet, then took the clogs that were put aside and put them on, waved his hand at the Yiren child in the distance, showed a kind smile, and pointed to the fish basket.

The Yiren child nodded again and again, grinned, patted his chest, and shouted in non-standard Chinese, "My lord, I know." ”

There is a lot of harmony between the two.

Feng Yong smiled, then turned around and walked back, "Let's go, take me to see those wounded soldiers." ”

Huang Chong looked back at the large fields filled with water, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are there fish in this field?" ”

"For the sake of fertilizing the fields."

After several years of exercise, as well as timely supplementation of nutrition, Feng Yong's figure is very tall, walking in the forefront, giving people a majestic feeling.

"In this newly opened paddy field, there are still weeds in the soil, and if you put the fish in it, you can eat the grass, and secondly, the fish field will always be more fertile."

Feng Yong explained.

Then he pointed to the side of the guide and said, "I asked Jufu to lead the troops south along the Sunshui River Valley, in fact, the main purpose is to go to Dingdzu County to have a look." ”

"Before coming from Jincheng, I had already inquired about it, and there was a salt pond in this Yueshan Dingjiao. When the sentence helps to find out the way, we can take the salt of Dingzhu to pickle the salted fish. ”

Salted fish is a good thing, it is not only meat, but also salt, stored for a long time, will not spoil easily, easy to transport, easy to eat, the conditions are really bad, just pick it up and eat it with the staple food.

If you put a salted fish in a bowl while you are cooking, you can steam it until it is soft, and the taste will be better.

It's simply a must-have for marching and fighting.

Why is it said that Greater Sichuan was China's last rear during the Anti-Japanese War?

Because it is truly a God-given treasure land for China.

The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, surrounded by mountains, there are not only grain production bases, but also rich mineral resources, iron and coal reserves are amazing.

Even God saw that it was far away from the sea, and even arranged rich salt wells for it, and even made up for the shortcomings of the common lack of salt in the interior.

Isn't this a treasure land?

"There's a salt pond in Dingyi?"

Huang Chong thought for a moment, and then asked, "Junior brother remembers, isn't there a Yi tribe entrenched in that Dingxi?" This salt and iron is a huge profit, and the Yi people lack salt, if we take away the salt pond of Dingyi, we are afraid that the Yi people of Dingyi will be dissatisfied. ”

At this time, you can see the difference between Huang Chong, a son of the family, and Wang Xun, who was born at the grassroots.

Because of the family's heritage, Huang Chong's vision is indeed more long-term and clever than Wang Xun.

"That's why I asked Jufu to explore the way in advance."

Feng Yong smiled indifferently, "Whoever is dissatisfied, that's his business." I can't take back the salt pond, that's my business. ”

No matter how weak the Han is, the Han army is still an insurmountable mountain for the Yi people.

The two sides are really going to let go of the fight, and there is not much difference from the beauty of the later generations, and the gap may even be even bigger.

The reason why they don't fight is because many times it's not worth fighting, or that the cost of sending troops is really disproportionate to the gain.

Dingyang is located in a remote area, from Qiongdu to Dingyang, you have to follow Sun Shui all the way down, walk to the confluence of Sun Shui and Lushui, and then cross Lushui to reach Dingshui.

In this regard, sending troops to Dingyi is indeed a high-cost operation.

However, Feng Yong, according to the news that the wolf of the Xuanniu Department had gotten there, knew that the Dongqu Department had wanted to unite the Horse Catching Department and the Xuanniu Department in the north and the Dingying Hao Handsome Wolf Cen in the south, and prepared to besiege Qiongdu together.

It's just that the Dongqu Department's plan to delay time first failed, and then it was struck by Zhang Wei's thunder, and it didn't take long for it to be defeated, so this joint plan was naturally stillborn.

This wolf Cen can be included in the joint list of the Eastern Drainage Department, so naturally it will not be a good stubble.

What's more, although this wolf Cen said that he sent someone to tell E Shun that he was willing to surrender to the ghost king, but since Feng Yong, the ghost king, had been in Yueshan for so long, he hadn't even sent anyone over.

Therefore, in Feng Yong's opinion, this Dingdzu County must send troops there, as for how much to send, it depends on whether Wolf Cen really wants to surrender or is pretending to be superficial.

If you are sincerely surrendered, and the ghost king wants to take back the salt pond of Dingyi, then why don't you hurry up and obediently serve it with both hands?

Dahan to Yiren, that is, the full domineering president Fan, there is no need to discuss.

The time entered May, and the news finally came from Jufu in the south.

After crossing the Lushui, Jufu was ready to enter Dingyi, but was rejected by Dingying's handsome wolf Cen.

Jufu asked for supplies on the grounds that he had come from a long distance and lacked food and grass, but Wolf Cen refused again, and also tried to encourage the tribes around Dingyi to attack the Jufu Department and expel the Jufu Department back to the east of Lushui.

Although there were less than 300 soldiers in the Jufu Command, they were not afraid because of the sufficient dry food they carried.

He first built a camp in a dangerous place in the west of Lushui, and while sending people to report to Qiongdu as soon as possible, he also sent people to spread the word everywhere: Wolf Cen violated the will of the ghost king and was about to come to a great disaster, just like the east canal department and the horse catching department.

When the Yi people heard this, they were all suspicious and did not dare to attack with all their might, and some people even secretly sent food and drink to the camp of Jufu.

After receiving Jufu's report, Feng Yong sneered, "This wolf Cen is afraid of wolves and tigers, acts indecisively, and is greedy for small profits and spares his life, so it is not enough to be troubled." ”

"I heard that Wolf Cen has a lot of prestige in Dingyi and has won the hearts of the people, but I don't know why Feng Changshi gave this person such an evaluation?"

Meng Yan, who had dark skin and a flat face, and a typical Yiren appearance, asked very modestly when he heard Feng Yong's words, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him saying that others were Yiren.

Feng Yong glanced at Meng Yan, this guy is quite capable, the key is that his heart is dark enough, and his face is even thicker, he is indeed a material for being an official, and he doesn't know how much stronger than Meng Huo's straight temperament.

"That Wolf Cen, first said that he wanted to return to the Great Han, and then he wanted to join forces with the Dongqu Department, and the two ends of the first rat were just that, the key is that I am afraid that he himself does not know what he wants to do."

"Refused General Ju to enter Dingyi, this is the act of rebelling against the Han, but he was indifferent when General Ju crossed the Shanghai River, probably because he was afraid of offending us too much, and he just wanted to keep his position in Dingyi."

"What is this way of doing things, not acting indecisively, greedy for small profits and sacrificing one's life?"

"If the people of Nanzhongyi rebelled, it was all because of the dangerous terrain, but now that he has allowed General Ju to gain a firm foothold in the west of Lushui, he has put himself in a disadvantageous position, and he has acted like this, so I assert that he is not in trouble."

"I have heard people say, either don't do it, or don't stop, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent. This wolf Cen does half of his work and leaves half of it, and he doesn't have much heart, so what is the way? ”

When Meng Yan heard this, he was convinced.

At the same time, I secretly thought in my heart, this sentence "don't do two endlessly", I'm afraid it's talking about himself, right? Otherwise, where did the power of this ghost king come from?

In May of the fourth year of Jianxing, Feng Yongzhi died 300 soldiers in Nanxiang and 1,000 people from Shanluyi, led by Huang Chong and Wang Xun, and helped Jufu.

At the same time, in a large manor in Mianzhu County, Guanghan County, a young man begged bitterly, "Steward Zhang, my family has followed the head of the Zhang family for three generations, why is it that all of a sudden, he is about to be expelled?" Isn't there something wrong? ”

"Seeing that the grain has just grown, there is no grain in the house, this is leaving Zhuangzi, this is forcing us to die!"

Steward Zhang held his head high with a sneer on his face, "Whether you die or not, that's the matter of the imperial court." The court said that no idlers are allowed to stay in the Zhuangzi, and all of them must go to the government to register their accounts, otherwise the main family will be punished. ”

"In the past two years, have there been fewer people in the Lord's family? Isn't it all forced by the imperial court? The Lord's house is considerate of you, but who will be considerate of the Lord's house? It's not that I'm deliberately embarrassing you, it's the government that is embarrassing everyone, understand? ”

"Steward Zhang, even if you want us to leave Zhuangzi, then you have to wait for Guzi to ......"

The young Langjun was about to speak again, but Steward Zhang waved his hand impatiently, and Zhuang Ding behind him pounced and drove everyone to the outside of Zhuangzi.

At the same time, all the rags in the thatched hut were thrown out.

For a time, inside and outside the Zhuangzi, there were cries, weeping, and connecting.

"Lang Jun, what should we do?"

The tenants stood in the field with black and tattered household belongings in their arms, their faces dazed and at a loss, and they only felt that the sky was bright and blue, but it was extremely gloomy.

Among them, there are many people who have worked for the main family for a lifetime, or even two or three lifetimes, and they really didn't think that the main family was so cold-hearted, and they would drive people away.

With anger in his eyes, the young Langjun gritted his teeth and looked at Zhuangzi with hatred, "This dog thing! ”

It's just that he scolded and scolded, but he didn't know what to do for a while, according to the current situation of his family, he was afraid that he would starve to death on the side of the road if he couldn't stand it for three days.

The steward of Zhuangzi stood on a high place, watching the lowly tenants wander around Zhuangzi, unwilling to leave for a long time, with a sneer on his face.

"What do the rest of the people in the Zhuangzi say?"

"Back to Steward Zhang, they are all thanking the master's family for their great kindness, saying that they are thanking the master's family for rewarding them with a mouthful of food."

"That's good."

Steward Zhang nodded in satisfaction.

This year, the lord decided to use eight oxen ploughs in all the Zhuangzi, and these surplus tenants were useless to keep, and they ate rations in vain, and they were worried that there was no excuse to drive them away.

I didn't expect this government to send a handle up.

Just thinking like this, I saw that the tenants outside Zhuangzi suddenly started a commotion, and at the same time there was a faint shout.

After a while, I saw that they all turned their heads and ran in one direction at the same time.

In May of the fourth year of Jianxing, a civil unrest broke out in Mianzhu County, Guanghan County, north of Jincheng.

The reason was that Zhang Ji, the Taishou of Guanghan, strictly enforced the law when he was checking the acres of land and people of large households, and at the same time strongly demanded that large families must take the initiative to report the population and fields that they had concealed, otherwise they would be punished, which caused dissatisfaction among the big families of Guanghan County.

So the family cooperated on the surface, but in fact, secretly expelled the tenants in the grange, turned them into homeless people, and obstructed the inventory of the people.

For a time, Mianzhu County was full of displaced people, and the government couldn't rein in it for a while.

At the same time, the family spread rumors that this was due to the harsh administration of the imperial court.

So the homeless people who had nowhere to go and no food to eat were panicked, and under the provocation of people with hearts, they began to attack the county.

Although Zhang Ji led his troops to exterminate them in time, there were still many people scattered in the mountains and forests and became bandits.

There was a man named Zhang Mu, who gathered a lot of people and roared between Guanghan and Mianzhu, causing trouble in the countryside everywhere, and even the military funds transported to Hanzhong by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty for the Northern Expedition were plundered.

When the news reached Jincheng, the imperial court was shaken.
