Chapter 67: Captain Jieling
The rectification of the soldiers and horses is still in progress, and Tong Yuan has focused on Tuntian and the Tuntian army again.
In troubled times, the small-scale peasant economy in some areas has collapsed and disintegrated, and in its place are the nobles, who run estates, build dock walls, and occupy large tracts of land and population.
If you take the current foundation and greatly tilt and win over these warriors and heroes as the foundation, you can rely on them to rise and develop rapidly, but if you are not satisfied, you will be kicked away by them and help others to replace them.
So, he doesn't plan to choose this path. Then gather the displaced people and create a path that Cao Cao will leave in the near future......
No! It is to combine the experience of Cao Cao Tuntian and more aspects in history to take a path that is more able to overcome the changes of the times after a hundred years.
Whether it works or not, this is the will to be pursued, and it will also come out of a unique trajectory.
The Xinxi Liang Army has an accumulation of nearly two million stones, and there is no need to invest all the military and civilian tuns in growing grain. The military tuns can be invested in animal husbandry, oilseeds, vegetables, engineering, medical care, and reserve forces as needed, and the mintuns can also increase the proportion of sideline work and industrial and mining industries.
Is there anyone else who hasn't been scheduled to consider it at the moment?
Shenlong! That's right, he is nicknamed "Tuli", he was born in the Nanyang area, and was once a member of the Yellow Turban, and now he and his deployment are not too dissatisfied with returning to the land, although they can live in peace, but it is not enough, and their strength has not been excavated.
Tong Yuan was young and vigorous, and he didn't hesitate, and went straight to Shenlong to discuss how to arrange it. Tong Yuan and he were not polite, and directly discussed the establishment of a special army.
Shen Long's actual age is only twenty-seven or eighteen, but hard-working people often work excessively, and judging from his appearance, it is not surprising that he is over forty years old. At this time, he was moved when he learned that Tong Yuan was specifically looking for him to give full play to his strengths and form a separate army on the basis of Juntun.
Tong Yuan said: "I thought that I could form a team of soldiers and horses who were good at crossing mountains and mountains, sending hills and unloading mountains, this soldiers and horses were not completely separated from production, and they should be responsible for road repair and mountain opening within the jurisdiction, and they would be engaged in the task of unloading mountains at special moments."
Shen Long replied, "Very good, our skills can play a role."
Tong Yuan said: "In the future, you will be the captain of the Xinxi Liang Army, the military tun and the Lingling Department, and you will be responsible for the engineering tasks of the whole army, this task will play a very key role in the future, do you have confidence?"
Shen Long puffed up his chest and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely make the general the richest man."
"Hahaha! It is not necessary, but I want my army to be the best equipped, fed, and spiritual, and my people to be the richest, so you must pay attention to such things as opening mountains, wading through waters, building roads, and fighting back. ”
"No!"
In this way, the supreme commander of Juntun is still Tong Yuan, but four captains are set up to govern the four departments.
Shen Long, the commander of the Detachment Ridge Department, is responsible for the engineering tasks in the military tunzhong, and at least in the short term, he will mainly open mountains and build roads in the three counties to help economic development.
There are 1,000 households in the Jieling Department, and the grain is not eaten in vain, so they must obey the orders of the military tun and complete the task before they can give food. In addition, a small number of people and horses went to various parts of the state to explore the location of the tomb, and after finding it, they waited for the order to excavate in an orderly manner.
And in all the military cantonments, those who were good at riding, grazing, and tending to horses and flocks, and these people were organized into a ranger department. There is a ranger captain, 1,000 households, 2,000 horses, and a large number of donkeys and cattle.
Due to the inclusion of hundreds of light cavalry in the previous Xiliang Surrender, this part of the men and horses is positioned as light cavalry in wartime, and the rest take care of livestock and provide logistics and military supplies.
Those who are good at herbs, cooking, and firewood from the army and refugees were also selected and organized into a logistics department. A logistics lieutenant was set up, with 1,000 households, equipped with tools, and medical craftsmen were paid to train some people in first aid, epidemic prevention, and herbal medicine.
The determination of this man is very clear, and the implementation of battlefield ambulance, daily prevention and control, as well as cooking and logistics support. Although there are 1,000 households in the department, most of the family members of those soldiers can participate, so the number of people who actually put into the function exceeds 3,000.
At present, the dreadnought army has a system of appointing service personnel, but there is no establishment of cooking personnel, and the troops under the command of the logistics captain in the military cantonment directly provide them with food. Tong Yuan usually let this unit run in with the dreadnought army, and in wartime, he incorporated it into it.
In troubled times, they have soldiers and horses, and they have the righteousness and food, of course, they don't have to worry about enthusiasm, but other people in the military camp still envy the soldiers and horses engaged in logistics, because they eat better, and they don't have to go into battle to fight once they fight.
The other soldiers are included in the large military cantonment establishment, and the military cantonment is different from a small number of dreadnought troops who are out of production, and there are still more than 4,000 households in total, and each tun for every 100 households, with a tun chief, and five tuns as a song, and the song has a military waiting, and a military commander is set up on the song, and a captain of the tuntian is set up on the military sma, who is responsible for the daily production and training of these military cantonments.
After all, the military tun is different from the mintun, and it still has to carry out more military training, and if it goes out on a war in wartime, it is also necessary to go into battle to fight.
However, it is composed of former soldiers, and its combat effectiveness is still somewhat guaranteed. And because of the Dong family's amazing wealth, it is no problem for each person to arrange one or two sets of two-grade armor.
The soldiers and horses are usually handed over to the subordinate captains and military commanders, but Tong Yuan still planned the direction of training. This large garrison mainly arranged the training of infantry formations, bows and arrows, and shield spears.
Although bows and arrows require much longer training time than crossbow machines; The shield spear is also slightly inferior to the combination of blades and shields such as the ring-headed knife in terms of heads-up, but the bow and spear are easier to scale because of the cost, and the battle in array can undergo a qualitative change.
Bow and arrow throws can cover a large area, and can be terrifying to lightly armoured, unarmoured, or shieldless opponents. In case of emergency, it can also be shot to kill the enemy, and after a certain process, it can also be equipped with fire arrows or ringing arrows, which has an excellent effect after being scaled.
Although the formation of shields and spears is not as effective as spears, they can restrain cavalry in melee combat, deal with a rain of arrows when defending, and engage enemies at close range is also better than more poorly equipped opponents. In short, the cost of the shield spear is low, it is convenient for training, and it is really the best choice for military equipment.
In addition, these soldiers and horses are not novices, and their families produce on weekdays, and the soldiers are all put into production at important times such as busy farming, so the training time is guaranteed.
As a result, 10 days after the initial formation, with a little training, they were already impressive, and most of them were veterans, and it was estimated that they would not have a problem as the main force to maintain the battle line in the field.
In addition, there are also problems in military discipline, ideology, and contradictions in the county and cantonment that need to be solved urgently. However, due to the complexity of the affairs, Tong Yuan had to wait until after the autumn harvest to make arrangements for the entire region.
As Zhang Ji and others counted the land and got results, Tong Yuan finally dealt with the Mintun matter. To his surprise, there were 500,000 mu of idle farmland in the main areas of Haoyang and Yaxian that urgently needed to be cultivated.
If we go all out to develop about 500,000 mu of farmland, it can completely accommodate 100,000 peasants to cultivate and live, so it is more than enough to arrange for the current 50,000-odd people to live in the Mintun and Juntun.
Since the population of Zuo Fengyi counties has not been very large in the past two hundred years, a large number of areas belong to the state of natural succession. In addition, there are more than ten water systems of various sizes such as Luoshui here, which is really a good place to grow grain.
However, Tong Yuan thought a little about it, if we blindly destroy the mountains and forests and destroy the seemingly abundant place, in fact, the fragile ecological environment will not only promote the deterioration of the environment, but also cause internal contradictions to surge and widen the gap between the rich and the poor.
In this regard, Tong Yuan plans to control the two counties within 700,000 acres of land, and currently arrange a total of 60,000 people in Juntun and Mintun, and in the future, if there are Sanfu refugees who have helped in the past, they can also be arranged here, and plans to arrange a total of 100,000 people at most.
However, if refugees arrive in the prefecture and other places, new land must be opened up for resettlement.
After all, when he came to the three counties of Xiayang, he was also nominally here to pacify the Baibo Army and the Southern Xiongnu.
This plan did not require much speech, and Zhang and other officials agreed with it. In this era, there is no such thing as a demographic dividend, and for most officials, population is pressure and chaos.
However, Cao Cao and the few others with real ambitions will do everything in their power to co-opt refugees and populations to survive and serve.
Finally, after some discussion, 25,000 people were resettled in Haoyang and Yaxian counties, and the people's tuns were organized according to the military tun method, with 100 households as one tun and 5 tuns as one song.
However, the corresponding setting is under the jurisdiction of the county's Tuntian Lieutenant, and the Tuntian Military Captain is under the jurisdiction of the Tuntian Military Candidate, and the Tuntian Military Candidate is under the jurisdiction of ten Tuntian Commanders and Deputy Tun Chiefs.
Instead of setting up positions such as team leader, chief, and army chief like the army, the tun chief set up a team for every 20 households, and placed the captain and deputy captain under the jurisdiction. In this way, Mintun also changed the previous 25 decimal system and set up tuntian officials, which was different from the 5x base system of the new army and the newly established military brigade and other positions, and the 25 decimal system of Juntun and maintained the original military system.
Considering the need for a certain amount of mobility to promote talent mining and initiative, Tong Yuan also drafted a basic promotion direction.
If Mintun is good at animal husbandry, engineering, cooking, medical care, craftsmen, crafts and other abilities, he can be promoted to the corresponding military tun. If the military tun performs well in various departments and has merit, he can join the dreadnought army.
Dreadnoughts and military camps may be granted 50 to 150 acres of land if they are slightly older or have more merit. In this way, an orderly promotion direction is formed, which mainly considers ability and merit.
However, growing grain is still the main task of Mintun. If the grain yield is higher, in addition to distributing more grain, they will also enjoy various materials or money such as meat and vegetables like the military tun.
Now that there is an abundance of grain, there is no pressure, and the expansion of the scope of control in the future needs to be gradually improved.
This basic plan was perfected with the help of Zhang Ji, an administrative expert. The specific implementation was carried out by the commander of each county, Tuntian Lieutenant.
