Chapter 62: Nineteen Thousand Soldiers!
戌時
The sky was pitch black, as if it had been covered with a black cloth, and the sun, moon and stars were placed in the cloth, emitting a faint light.
Under the howling of the wind, a few thin clouds drifted in the sky from time to time.
A guest house
Bai Mingzhe knelt on the futon, and Feng Ju also knelt and sit, but there was a desk between the two.
During the day, through Song Xiang's introduction, Bai Mingzhe had already figured out the form of Jiaodong County.
He gently wrote economic models on the silk book spread out in front of him.
The economic model of this land is more complex - bureaucrats + powerful + landlords + merchants + peasants.
Among them, the first two are all-round behind-the-scenes operators, while the landlords are single fixed land operators, merchants, who are the executors of commodity trading, and the last peasants are the oppressed.
These five groups, in some places, may seem to be unconnected, but in fact, they have formed a perfect closed-loop economy. If one of them is hastily attacked, the entire economy will collapse, especially the last farmers, who will be the first to be affected.
Landlords and merchants obtained grain and fish from the peasants, or hired peasants to obtain salt, which they then transported to other places in exchange for money.
The money obtained by the businessmen is only five or six tenths, and the remaining forty percent is all in the pockets of the powerful and bureaucrats.
Under the bribes of money, the powerful and bureaucrats relied on their prestige and power to shelter the businessmen and help them obtain greater benefits.
Of course, when there is sufficient money, the oppression of the peasants by the bureaucracy and the powerful will also be reduced, and then the oppression of the peasants by the superstructure will also be reduced.
Eventually, with less pressure from the top, farmers will have to pay more labor and get more paid if they want to be full.
This economic model seems to be relatively stable, but in fact, it is simply unable to withstand external shocks, especially the interests of businessmen mostly go into the pockets of bureaucrats and powerful people, and rarely enter the state treasury, once the strong impact of natural disasters breaks out, then the country will be unable to provide disaster relief, and the peasants will die on a large scale.
Knowing the benefits and harms, Bai Mingzhe didn't dare to act rashly.
In order to completely break this economic model, it is necessary to build a new economic model, an economic model that can divide the old forces.
He put aside the silk book with the economic model of "bureaucracy + haoqiang + landlord + merchant + peasant", picked up a new silk book, and began to write a document on the transfer of troops.
"If you want to supply salted fish to the border in the mainland stably, you must break the economic model of Jiaodong County! Otherwise, I am afraid that ninety percent of the salted fish harvested will go into the pockets of bureaucrats and heroes. Bai Mingzhe groaned, "I only have three months here. It is simply unrealistic to break the decades-old economic model in three months. If it is violently dismantled, then it is likely to hurt the people, and finally lead to civil unrest! Therefore, with the support of the army, I can only carry out a slow evolution and gradually eat away at the cake of the old forces. ”
He dipped the brush in ink a few times, the tip of the brush was tilted sideways, and the beautiful calligraphy flowed out from under the tip of the brush.
"I use Your Majesty's edict to recruit soldiers and horses from Liang State, Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, Yan State, and Youbeiping."
"Liang is a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and it should respond to the call of Chang'an! Today is the third day of the first month of October, and within 20 days of the Liang Kingdom, we must recruit 1,000 soldiers from the county with complete cloth armor and sharp lances, carry January rations, and take the head of my letter soldiers, you can rush to Gaomi County, Jiaodong County, and take over the city defense of Gaomi County! Make no mistake! ”
"Yan is also the country of the Han princes, the king of Yan is the descendant of Gaozu, the blood of the Han Dynasty, and the order of Chang'an is indispensable! On the day of receiving the order, King Wangyan selected 3,000 children from the good family and 1,000 horsemen, a total of 4,000, and carried two months' rations, cloth armor, long lances, crossbows and arrows and other sharp weapons, and then rushed to Gaomi County. Headed by Feng Ju of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, he was stationed thirty miles north of Gaomi County, waiting for the order to train the troops! ”
"Youbeiping is too obedient to the order, and without affecting the defense against the Xiongnu, he immediately dispatched 5,000 infantry, with two months' rations, and siege weapons to Gaomi County! Led by Luo Jin of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, after crossing the Huai River, he went straight to the east and was stationed thirty miles west of Jimo City! Waiting for the order to train the troops! ”
"Liaodong County obeyed the order, and immediately organized five thousand horsemen, carrying two months' rations and a number of bows and crossbows, to Gaomi County! Led by Wanzhen Mountain of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, you are stationed thirty miles west of Yeyi, which is a plain area, and you must choke the area north of the Jiaohe River here! Any officials and soldiers of Jiaodong County who intend to cross the river will immediately send someone to Gaomi County to report! ”
"Liaoxi County guards the order, in view of the fact that Liaoxi County is close to the Wuhuan Zuoxian Wang's department, and the harassment of cavalry is more serious, Jun recruited 4,000 children from good families to form infantry, carrying armor and rations, and rushed to Gaomi County overnight! Led by me, you are stationed twenty miles northeast of Jijin County to control the water source to Jimo City! ”
1,000 Liang soldiers, plus 12,000 infantry, and 6,000 cavalry auxiliaries, a total of 19,000 people!
In order to completely rectify Jiaodong County, Bai Mingzhe made a bloody investment this time.
There are so many people, even if the local tyrants want to resist, they have to weigh whether they are capable!
If the attack on Wei's North Korea is sent from Jiaodong County, then the fishing grounds and salt farms here can be stable for six months, or even longer!
Feng Ju looked at the contents of the silk book, his voice trembled, "Bai Gong, Jun has requisitioned a large number of troops here, do you want to tell Your Majesty, this is nearly 20,000 people!" If it is not handled well, problems can easily occur. ”
His implication was clear.
20,000 men is close to the strength of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. If Liu Che felt that this was a plan to rebel and cut off Jiaodong to establish himself as the king, wouldn't it be a big incident?
Bai Mingzhe smiled slightly and comforted: "You can rest assured." I have already asked Ye Chuping to go to Chang'an to inform Your Majesty. As for the nominal ...... That's training! If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and this is also true for marching and fighting. I don't want my soldiers to die on the battlefield in vain. Oh yes! When it comes to the desire to do good work, I think of one more thing. ”
He dipped the ink a few times again, wiped it lightly on the edge of the inkstone, and then began to write the second silk book, "Qin Mo giant, do you remember Bai?" I want to build a Han Navy Division in Jiaodong County, and I hope that Qin Mo will send skilled craftsmen to support. As for the remuneration, please watch the second half of the silk book in detail. I believe that you will be interested. ”
The pen turns, the side is exposed, and part of the Tiangong Kaiwu "Boat and Car Chapter" is attached to the silk book by him, "Where the ship system is covered by the ocean, the length of the ship is one zhang six feet, and the width is two feet five inches, and the equipment is the same, but the rudder rod must be made of iron wood...... To the beginning and end of each Ansi south to set the direction, the middle waist of the large beam out of the head of a few feet, through the waist rudder, then all the same. The waist rudder is not the same as the tip rudder, but the broad plate is cut into a knife shape and inserted into the water, and it is not turned, and the cover is guarded and tilted. It is still tied to the beam with a cross handle, and when it is shallow, it is lifted, and there seems to be a rudder, so the name waist rudder is also ......"
Since the split of the Mo family, Qin Mo's places of activity were basically inland, and weak shipbuilding technology was their biggest weakness.
Even the mirage designed by Qin Shi Huang was completed with the power of the Mo family, and the drawings in some places were monopolized by Qi Mo and Chu Mo, and Qin Mo could not touch them at all.
Now that Bai Mingzhe has taken out the "Boat and Car Chapter", I don't believe that these guys are not impressed!
Of course, if you want to make specific drawings, you need to recall the restoration drawings of ancient ships, for example, the large ships when Zheng He went to the West! Things are busy these days, and if you want to recall the exact content of the drawings, you need to wait for everything to settle down before you can proceed.
Bai Mingzhe grinned, laughed evilly, and said to himself in a voice that he could only hear, "Hey, hey, Qin Mo, you can work for me obediently." ”
