Chapter 968: Conspiracy

"Junhou," Xu Shu took the statistics and said, "This is ...... Well, the word "list" ......, Fei Qian said a lot, and Xu Shu naturally remembered it.

Fei Qian took it, looked at the values on it, and then paid attention to the final settlement number, and couldn't help but take a breath......

Because the five baht money is very bad, basically whether it is the soldier's salary or the forage and dried beans consumed by the livestock, all the amount is converted into grain and grass, which is convenient for unified calculation.

About 3,000 people were requisitioned to transport rations to and fro, and the rations were one stone, two buckets and five liters per month. An ordinary foot soldier's monthly salary is three stones, three buckets, three liters of grain, and two liters of coarse salt. A cavalryman is twelve stones, three stones of dried beans, six liters of coarse salt, and of course, this is the grain that includes the war horses.

There are only more than 4,000 regular soldiers and 3,000 people, and the grain and grass consumed by each moonlight soldier ration is more than 30,000 stones......

The above does not include the consumption of ordinary arrowroot, hay, iron nails, wood, all kinds of armaments, arrows, etc.

"Tsk......" Fei Qian shook his head, in the future life, he said that tens of thousands are not enough, why didn't there be a hundred thousand people, a million decisive battle or something, now, hehe, hehe......

The other column is the damage of soldiers, horses, etc.

The main loss was the cavalry, the cavalry died on the spot and died of serious injuries in the later stage, it was 219 people, the moderate injuries needed to be recovered, there were 166 people, the light injuries were 107 people, and the foot soldiers were relatively better, but there were also nearly 300 injuries.

In addition, the damage to the war horses was relatively serious, and more than 300 were killed in the battle, and the rest were mainly damaged by the horse's hooves and legs. In addition, the surviving war horses that followed Fei to Chang'an, even if they were not injured, had lost some weight because of the long run, and they needed to be well cared for, and they could not dispatch some heavy errands for the time being.

Under the fame, there is the road of bones.

Fei Qian put down the list in his hand, and subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, making a soft tuk tuk sound.

Xu Shu tilted his head slightly, glanced at Fei Qian's hand, and then sat silently and stroked his beard.

Fei Qian thought for a while, and then said: "Xiliang's loss of soldiers should be five times that of us, of which the cavalry loss should be about 1,500 to 2,000, on the whole, we are considered to have fought well......"

Xu Shu nodded.

In fact, it is far more than just the words of good play, taking down the land of Sucheng is almost equivalent to stretching one foot into Guanzhong. Although Diaoyin is a dangerous pass, but after all, it is narrower, which is conducive to defense and not conducive to attack, but now it is different, Sucheng is in hand, which is basically equivalent to going south and east......

Fei Qian sighed slightly and said, "...... However, the damage is still a little bigger...... "After all, this consumption is somewhat embarrassing."

Especially cavalry and war horses, the battle between the same type of army is still the most damaged.

War is not only full of bloody and adrenaline-pumping cruel scenes, but also these trivial logistics, annoying losses, and the personal ability of soldiers who will always get worse and worse the more they fight, and the internal friction and ruffle that will never stop.

Although Fei Qian will be better here, but in fact it is not much better, just from the cavalry class, it is a very important matter, but it is still not something that can be replenished immediately if you want to.

Xu Shu is also silent, for this problem, even though he is full of wisdom, but it is still impossible to transform an ordinary farmer into a cavalryman with superb riding skills and can go into battle.

Fei Qian looked at the sky outside the hall, thinking in his heart, it would be good if the future generations of keyboard warriors were there, and it was estimated that he would be able to squirt a lot when he opened his mouth......

Nowadays, it can be said that in the entire Han Dynasty, in the Central Plains Agricultural Ethnic Region and even in the history of cavalry development in the whole of China, the light cavalry and heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty have entered a new period of development, especially in cavalry training, which is also gradually standardized.

At first, Liu Bang had no cavalry in his hands, and then he was beaten by the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang, who was beaten and had a blue nose and swollen face, gritted his teeth, and established a "capable" cavalry with simple clothes and food, and then tried his best to override public opinion, and let Li Bi and Luo Jia of the Qin Dynasty, who had cavalry combat experience, be the captains of the left and right, and then under the unified command of Guan Ying, who was quite familiar with the cavalry battle array.

Such a unit, many of its members had received cavalry training and cavalry tests as early as the Qin Dynasty, was born in the Qin Dynasty, but served Liu Bang and played an important role in the Battle of Xingyang and the Battle of Xiangyi.

Of course, more cavalry was built up by chasing all the way behind Xiang Yu's ass and patching it all the way. Xiang Yu, the captain of the transport brigade, almost all of them contributed to Liu Bang except for his own part of the elite cavalry of the personal guards......

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, in the west and north, the horse was placed in the "36 Yuan Institutes". With "30,000 officials, slaves and maids, and 300,000 horses". At the same time, the Son of Heaven set up "six stables", that is, six horse farms. The county state office purchases horse breeding institutions. They are not only responsible for the production and reproduction of horses, but also undertake some of the training of war horses. Some officials, especially the tens of thousands of "official slaves" in the northwestern provinces, are familiar with the habits, domestication, and control of horses. They are good horse trainers and are able to subdue fierce horses. After some training, the horses are far different from the "raw horses" in the stable horse herd, and have "bid farewell" to many animal nature and wildness, and have become tame, sensitive, able to approach people, withstand many stimuli, and easy to play the riding function.

As soon as the war requires, different types of horses can be provided to heavy cavalry, light cavalry, etc., with preliminary training and a sufficient number of horses. After being distributed to the cavalry, it can be used freely after a little heat. Therefore, the training of war horses, in a certain sense, also belongs to the content of cavalry training.

These places are in Guanzhong, Shangjun, and Beibei, but with the passage of time, because of the eastward shift of the political, economic, and cultural center of the Han Dynasty as a whole in Liu Xiu, these horse breeding places have gradually declined, and now Jizhou and Liaodong have become the main source of war horses......

Of course, most of these current Jizhou cavalry have fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao, and have become a means for him to compete with Gongsun Zhan.

Normally, the Han cavalry can be roughly divided into two parts: the central system and the various county systems located in the north. The former, guarding the Kyoshi and the Imperial Palace, most of them were recruited by the latter in turn. The latter, which belong to local troops, sometimes participate in conquest activities under the central transfer. However, now the cavalry of these two systems is basically non-existent.

Originally, the central cavalry belonged to the eight captains of the Northern Army, of which four captains were elite cavalry. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, when the male reached the age of twenty-three, he had to formally serve, one year as the ordinary guard of the county, and the second year onwards, he selected some of them as material officers or riding soil, and practiced archery, horsemanship, battle formation, and so on.

After a period of military training, after completing active duty, he returned to his family to work as a farmer and became a reservist. Such a system of employing soldiers in agriculture can make the whole country not train soldiers, so now the problem comes......

Fei Qian sighed: "It's ...... before it happens."

Xu Shu answered on the side and said, "...... The prince is very worried, and evacuating at this time is the best policy. ”

...... "What am I thinking, do you know?" Fei Qian blinked, turned his head, and said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, you might as well say ......."

Xu Shu arched his hand and said, "...... If you want to take the pass, you must raise the momentum of thunder before you can suppress it in one fell swoop. Today, the dynasty has its own system, which is not allowed to be allowed by us, and the soldiers of Xiliang have not been appeased, and there are Hongnong soldiers peeping outside...... It seems that the enemy is not the enemy, the friend is not the friend, and the foundation of our generation is not stable, so it is not a good opportunity to ......"

Oh, I didn't think the same thing......

Xu Shu was thinking about this Guanzhong battlefield, while Fei Qian was considering the current situation of the entire Han Dynasty. Although the two people think about different things, the conclusion is almost the same, and it is not yet time.

At this stage of the late Han Dynasty, the original compulsory military system left by the Han Dynasty has not been completely destroyed, so these careerists can recruit a group of soldiers who can go directly into battle again and again, and this is Fei Qian's current weakness.

In addition to the relative perfection of the protection of the Shangdang area in Taiyuan, the population of other regions is relatively sparse, although it is said that some of the displaced people in Chang'an were supplemented in the previous stage, but they are still not optimistic, and in these areas, the original so-called Han Dynasty legal system, various armaments, etc. are almost deserted, so if you want to think about Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the militia that can gather together by ringing a bell to become a regular soldier is not necessary to think about it.

However, they also have their own advantages, in this area where the smell of sheep is relatively heavy, it is still relatively easy to recruit Hu cavalry, these Hu cavalry were originally people with excellent riding skills and bow and archery skills, so it is okay to gradually junior cavalry. However, it is not so easy to transform from a rudimentary cavalry to a part of the heavy cavalry, or to become a unit that is not only good at fighting with the wind, but also has enough resilience in adversity.

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of the battle situation in Guanzhong, or from the situation of the whole world, this is not the time to set yourself up and become a huge target to meet all the careerists in the world.

For the time being, the current situation of Feiqian is still unaffordable.

"Withdraw ......the troops," Fei Qian said, "according to Sucheng, watch the pass, and wait for it to change." Youruo and a certain return to Pingyang, as for Zhang Ma and Zhao, the three of them ......"

Xu Shu said: "Junhou, Captain Ma and Xiliang Ma Shoucheng have an old relationship, and the ancestors are all after General Fubo, if you stay here, it may be of great use......

Fei Qian looked at Xu Shu and said, "...... I see, I met him halfway the day before yesterday and saw him wearing a robe......"

Xu Shu nodded and said, "The surrounding counties have never seen Captain Ma, so do you know that this horse is not a horse?" If it causes the Xiliang generals to be suspicious, it will be a ......"

Fei Qian nodded, since this is the case, Ma Yan needs to stay here.

So Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, which one to take back to Pingyang? It is impossible to take them all away, after all, Diaoyin still has to leave a military general to guard.

Xu Shu saw what Fei was considering, so he suggested: "Stay in Diaoyin, Zhang Zhao can be, but Captain Zhao passed through Yuzhong to Pinyang before, and this geography is more or less familiar with one or two ......."

When Fei Qian heard this, he nodded, and the matter here was probably settled like this.

"There is one more thing," Xu Shu pondered for a while and said, "...... Now that the population under the jurisdiction of the prince is increasing, it is necessary to quickly promote filial piety, honesty and virtue, etc., in case of need......"

In fact, this matter was discussed in a letter from Xun Chen and Xu Shu in Diaoyin, because of Xu Shu's background and the relationship between Jing Xiang, this topic may only be more appropriate for Xu Shu to bring up, others such as Xun Chen, or Jia Qu and others, although they also have such thoughts, but when they bring it up, they will inevitably worry that Fei Qian is suspected of forming a gang.

With a larger population comes a complex natural affair.

Speaking of this matter, Fei Qian also agreed, saying: "This matter, after a certain arrival in Pingyang, will be carried out immediately." ”

People's livelihood and political affairs, if it weren't for the fact that Fei Qian is now also a small prince, and he has personally experienced large and small affairs, relying on the imagination of later generations, he would never be able to appreciate the cumbersomeness and difficulties of civil affairs in the Han Dynasty.

Civil affairs in a place are difficult to say, and easy to say. Because whether it is a county or a township or county, they are generally similar, and they are at least household registration, customs, Fu nationality, change of service, township service, pan service, reinstatement, placing the three elders, respecting the elderly, giving filial piety, caring for the gills and widows, being lonely, caring for the homeless people, city slaves and maids, governing the heroic and cunning, recording the people's army, persuading farmers and mulberries, fake people's fields, exempting the people, giving alcohol, rewarding the people, filial piety, abstaining from luxury, and so on......

Is it easy?

Isn't it enough to grab someone who knows a little bit of writing?

In addition, local civil affairs chiefs must not only understand the above, but also need to understand what is "Tuhui", what is "Tuyi", what is "Tugui", what is "Twelve Teachings", and what is "Three Objects and Eight Punishments......

But is it hard?

Normally, no.

Because most of the work does not need to be done by the county leader, only the officials at all levels need to be explained, and then the officials at all levels will distribute these things to the heads of the township and county Haoyou and local scholars, and then the local Haoyou families will complete those trivial matters one by one, and finally summarize them to the county order......

Therefore, in later generations, some people often say that the scholars are so great, don't the scholars just understand two words, don't they just have a little status in the countryside, and the earth can't move away from the scholars, and so on......

However, in the Han Dynasty, completely abandoning the Shi clan, then it means that all civil affairs will be pressed on the local administrative organs, not to mention anything else, just the collection of grain taxes, without any modern means of transportation and equipment, to complete the collection of grain from various agricultural settlements, bit by bit, back to the warehouse, is a rather tedious and terrible workload.

You must know that in the Han Dynasty, there were no cars and ships, no trains and planes, no cranes and no harvesters, and everything basically relied on manpower or the power of cattle and horses.

Grain and grass are not other things, such as cloth, how much can be put away, and if the grain and grass are not harvested in time, whether it is damp or eaten by rats and insects, the damaged part must be counted on the person's head?

Originally, Feiqian only had Pingyang and Yong'an, like Pucheng, everything was handled locally, so it was somewhat simple, but now it has expanded to a vast area such as Yinshan in the north, Huguan in the east, Diaoyin in the west, and Sucheng in the south......

"Now the forest is bigger, it is estimated that any bird will appear......" Fei Qianyu said.

When Xu Shu heard this, he pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "...... Prince, if the water is clear, there are no fish, this forest, if you are too cautious, there will be no birds......"

Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Well said, teachable, teachable...... "If it's an ordinary bird, it's just that, if it's a black bird, you still have to clean up a few......
