Chapter 35: The Yellow Turban Rises
After a while, Xinghuo Village was busy again, and under the leadership of the first batch of Zhang Haojiao, all the tenants cultivated these new crops that they had never seen before.
Even the private soldiers didn't have much training during this time, and they came to help after basic training every day and joined the farming army.
Zhang Hao also worked with them among these people, which made these people very excited, in their words, when had they ever seen such adults doing farm work.
The large area of land was divided into three pieces, one was planted with sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and the other two were divided into dozens of pieces, each planted with various other plants, as well as Hua Tuo's medicinal herbs.
When the cultivation was in full swing here, news came from the county town that the Yellow Turbans were coming, and Lord Assassin Shi sent a list to recruit rebels to resist the invasion of the Yellow Turbans.
Zhang Hao smiled bitterly, it should have come, after all, it still came, although the Yellow Turban Uprising was not successful, but the impact it brought to the Eastern Han Dynasty regime was extremely shocking, directly shaking and even subverting the ruling foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Because the central court quickly quelled the uprising, it delegated a lot of military power to the localities.
After the uprising, the local strength grew, and then once the central government was unstable, the local government directly broke away from the control of the central government and developed its own strength.
And isn't this a precursor to the melee of the Three Kingdoms? Moreover, the first generation of leaders of the Wei, Shu and Wu Kingdoms began to slowly make their fortunes in the Yellow Turban Army Uprising, namely Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Jian.
Although the results they achieved were different, this also officially opened the prelude to the Three Kingdoms and the troubled times.
Zhang Hao calculated the time, it is only March now, it seems that as in history, Zhang Jiao has not changed the fate of being betrayed by his apprentice Tang Zhou, and it is estimated that Ma Yuanyi was also broken by the car as in history.
Zhang Hao pondered for a while, greeted him, and took the lead towards the "conference room", followed by Tong Fei and more than a dozen other people, sitting around the table.
"I'm going to send troops to fight the Yellow Turbans, what do you think?" Zhang Hao asked straight to the point.
He said that he was going to crusade against the Yellow Turban, and the biggest thing was to see if he could save Zhang Ning's life, even Zhang Jiao, if possible, he also wanted to save it.
After all, Zhang Ning had helped him, and he didn't want to just watch Zhang Ning die, as for Zhang Jiao, his starting point was just for the people, and there was nothing wrong with that.
"Okay, I'm willing to go with you." Zhang Fei was the first to yell.
"I would also like to go with my brother." Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Hao firmly, he has been with Zhang Hao for so many years, as long as Zhang Hao decides, he will support it.
"We would like to be with you." Zhang Jiang and several people said in unison, and they followed Zhang Hao without reservation.
Tong Fei and Gongsun Du didn't speak, but they also nodded.
"I don't care, I can't help anyway." Hua Tuo said indifferently.
"Since there are no opinions, it's decided." Zhang Hao looked at everyone and said.
"Shengji, you are still in charge of the Xinghuo Village." Zhang Hao looked at Gongsun Du and said.
"Okay." Gongsun Du said helplessly, in fact, he also wanted to go to the battlefield to fight.
"Senior brother, you can stay and sit in the town."
"No, this is the first time you and Zilong have experienced a real battlefield, I'm not worried." Tong Fei said firmly.
Zhang Hao and Zhao Yun were speechless for a while, this Tong Fei is less than ten years older than Zhang Hao, and he has been protecting Zhang Hao and Zhao Yun like his father all these years, maybe this is what the ancients said about the eldest brother like a father.
Zhang Hao was not entangled, and continued: "In the past two days, we will recruit another four hundred strong men to supplement the infantry army, as for the cavalry, we have no source of horses for the time being, so we will not expand it first." ”
"The newly recruited infantry is added to four teams on average, one veteran leads one recruit, these two people are in a group, three groups are a team, and a team commander is set up."
"The three troops are one tithe, set up a tithe, set up a team, set up a team rate, three teams for a tun, set up a tun chief, set up a tun chief, set up a song, set up a military wait, three songs for one, set up a military horse, and three for a battalion." Zhang Hao said lightly.
Before, it was a person with more than 100 people, there was no problem, if you want to protect yourself in the future, you will inevitably expand the army, and after the expansion of the army, it is difficult to control without a formation, Zhang Hao took this opportunity to directly make the formation.
At this time, the military system was a trilogy system, calculated by the number of two or five, such as two teams for the team, five for the team, so that there must be a team leader among the two teams, and only one team rate among the five teams.
This will cause a person to lead two Wu talents as a leader, but as a team rate, it is not enough to bring five talents, Zhang Hao directly moved the more reasonable three-three system.
Under this system, a battalion can fight alone, and the commander of the battalion is a lieutenant or a miscellaneous general.
"After the infantry is expanded, stay and defend Xinghuo Village, and Yide, Zilong, and Tianzhi will take people with me." After announcing the preparation, Zhang Hao commanded again.
"My lord, it's safe here, you don't need so many people, why don't you bring more people." Gongsun Du suggested.
Zhang Jiang and the four of them also looked at Zhang Hao expectantly.
"Brother Shengji, I am all cavalry, if I lead an infantry army for the sake of a large number of people, I am afraid it will affect the speed of the march." Zhang Hao explained.
"Haha, I didn't think it through." Gongsun Du smiled and said.
When Zhang Jiang and the four of them heard this, they wilted like frosted eggplants.
"My lord, if I don't take what I brought and hand it over to my eldest brother to command, I'll go with you myself." Zhang He said expectantly.
When the other three heard this, they seemed to grasp the last straw, and they all said: "Yes, I am also willing to hand over the soldiers and go with the adults." ”
"What's the coax, look after the house honestly." Zhang Hao said with a glare.
As soon as Zhang Hao spoke, the four of them immediately stopped, Zhang Jiang, Zhang He, and Zhang Hu glanced at Zhang He, Zhang He shrank his neck and stuck out his tongue.
"This Spark Village is our foundation, and you have a great responsibility, so you must not be negligent." Zhang Hao Zhengse said.
"Yes, my lord, I will guard this Spark Village for my lord, and I won't let it suffer the slightest damage." The four of them are also a serious reply.
"Stay safe yourselves, and we'll drink together when I get back." Zhang Hao patted several people on the shoulder and said.
At the end of the meeting, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Wen hurriedly went to gather the troops.
It has been nearly a month since the last attack on the bandits, and with Hua Tuo's help, these people have all passed the level in their hearts.
This level is very important, if one is not handled well, this person will be ruined if he drills the tip of the horns.
If they don't dare to hold a knife in the future, it's okay, if they don't become soldiers, they can do something else, I'm afraid that some people will become murderous people, and it will become a scourge.
Like the Qingzhou Army incorporated by Cao Cao in history, no matter where they hit, they were all thirsty for killing, which caused Cao Cao to dare not use them later.
This is the sequelae of the knot that these ordinary people did not deal with after killing people.
