Chapter 18: Black Clouds Crush the City (3)

"Merge the villages?"

Bo Cunshu sat down and chewed the meaning of the words carefully, and asked the patriarch next to him, "Isn't this the one that the Japanese did in North China back then?" ”

The man laughed, "Why, the Americans did the same thing in Iraq and Afghanistan later. ”

"There are no success stories?" Bo Cunshu frowned, Japan and the United States were not very glorious in these places, one was dragged to the defeat, and the other simply withdrew his troops.

The military veteran who answered next to him smiled: "You don't know this, this method is a good method, if the Japanese do not do it well, the Americans will follow suit?" It's just that we can't keep up with the changes in current affairs, and the international situation dictates it. We don't have external constraints, but we don't have to worry too much, just do it with confidence. ”

This is a bit witty from Tanaka's mouth, after all, this name is too similar to the Japanese people, since the patriarchs entered Kuching, he has been responsible for the duty of the security guard of the working group, usually not much, but today Bo Cunshu asked him about his own position, so he was in the middle of it.

The so-called collection of villages and tun is to gather the three or five villages scattered in one place, one is to facilitate the management and taxation of the other, and the other is to gather the clansmen of each family in one place, it is inevitable that there will be no friction, and over time, the political power can be divided and ruled.

In the first half of the 21st century, Japan invaded China, and later the United States invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, all of which used such methods there. The United States was constrained by the domestic and international situation and was finally forced to withdraw its troops, which is also a gray appearance, so the mainstream public opinion does not judge this control method very highly.

But the Privy Council still thinks that these are just the result of the situation, not the method itself.

As long as there is no external public opinion constraint, then logically speaking, the centralized governance of the barbarians of all tribes, whether it is the division of various departments, or centralized production, is a good thing that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, the premise is, of course, whether the productive forces can keep up, and this productivity, the Great Song Dynasty called the second, it is estimated that no one dares to admit that the first in this time and space.

"It is naturally a good way to benefit the militia with the method of planting pox, and this method of merging villages and tuns is also unique. It's just that the barbarian tribes are scattered everywhere, if there is no guide, I'm afraid it doesn't mean that it can be suppressed, and the various departments rely on each other, and there are many marriages in the middle, if you use troops rashly, I'm afraid that as soon as the war starts, it will be difficult to clean up, I think it needs to be discussed in the long run. ”

Li Fanghua is naturally worried about his own money bag, the Song people came up with the pox planting method, and each family will inevitably be enthusiastic, but since he only said that the militia is encouraged by the pox planting method, the money and food for raising courage will naturally fall on the heads of all big families. Although there is no commission from the previous regulations, it is not a small amount for thousands of people to eat horses, and this will inevitably be delayed in time to deal with the barbarians, and I don't know if this is a means used by the Song people to consume large households. Therefore, he deliberately accentuated his tone on the sentence of the marriage of various tribes, after all, it is not only the barbarians outside the city who are married, but also the natives in the city and the barbarians who are related to each other, otherwise how can it be said that the natives collude with the barbarians.

According to what Li Fanghua's grandfather said when he was still alive, the original locals were also pure benign sons who were happy to entertain guests, but they were contaminated with the habits of philistines by this businessman. The natives are also easy to be led astray by others, and they have not learned the way of the sages, so they naturally become more and more cunning. When he said this, he was actually knocking on Zhao'en who was here, but the local clans who had ties with the seven or eight barbarians outside the city were calm today, and there was not a word to say.

However, seeing Zhao En's calm and relaxed attitude, Li Gangzhu regretted this a little, and there was no room for even a little turn as soon as the words came out, Zhao En wanted to watch from the wall.

Fortunately, Wuerde came out to relieve the siege, and said: "I understand the meaning of Taiwei and Guan Gou, but the lord of Li Gang also said that they are scattered everywhere, and there are only more than 100 people in each village, and there are only 100 people in a large tribe, and there are only a few hundred small ones." If you want to gather all the barbarian tribes in the surrounding fifty miles, it is too difficult, I have lived here for many years, and I can't tell the specific branches of each department, even if the Fubo army can fight, but after all, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, it is inevitable to lose the road, if the army is dispatched, it will always take some time to find out. ”

If you really want to use troops against the barbarians, the local natives will not compete for the lead, and most of this errand will still fall on the Han and the big cannibals. It was Zhao Encai who always looked calm and leisurely, only watching others talk.

However, Ould cooperated just right, and Liao Yun also felt that the time had come, so he explained to the soldiers around him, and saw that the soldiers walked to the back, and after a while, he and a group of sergeants carried out a big shelf.

Zhao En looked at it, the tray on the shelf was a zhang wide and narrow, and it took nearly ten people to lift it out. Zhaoen, who is smaller than this, has seen it in a Han merchant, and knows that it is called bonsai, and the smaller Boshan furnace has also seen it a few times, and knows that it is a thing of Han Taoist alchemy, but what did the Song people do when they brought out such a large thing?

'It's not a bonsai, it's a sand table'.

Liao Yun quickly solved everyone's doubts.

'Sandbox? A plate made of sand? ’

Liao Yun didn't pay attention to it, just smiled and picked up the long pole and pointed to the center of the sand table.

"This is Kuching City."

Everyone saw that there was a small boxy frame where the pole was pointing, and it was split in two by a sinuous blue line. Those who are fluent in Chinese have already seen the Song-style characters on the blue line - Sarawak River.

Those who understand it already understand that this seems to be a map, but they still look at Liao Yun with doubtful eyes.

"This is the map around Kuching, in my Great Song Dynasty, now the landscape, grass and trees in the map are miniaturized, so it is also called the sand table."

A few people in front of them had already been lying in front of the delicate sand table, and when they saw that the mountains and rivers were all as if they were real, someone had overlooked Kuching City on the slope of the sea, and they were even more exclaimed, and they were exactly the same as they had seen on the mountain that day.

These days, the locals who have come back from Brunei and the Bruneian merchants who come to trade say that the Song people are skilled in work, and some of them have also enjoyed some novel Song goods, but after all, they are all gadgets, although they are exquisite, but as long as they understand the reason, ordinary people do not think it is very strange. After all, there are many people in the world who know what it is, but not many people who want to know why it is.

But just like a fine work of art, the meticulous carving of this miniature landscape has gone beyond ordinary crafts, and the feeling of looking down on everything from the sky alone is already shocking, and I really don't know what means the Song people used. It's just that there is a mind in the middle of the activity has already thought of it, most of it is related to the white iron bird hovering in the sky in the past few days, and those who know the allusion will remember the craftsmanship of the public losing class in the Warring States period that they have heard.

"Let's let Yan Wang talk about it." Liao Yundao.

Because of manpower reasons, this time, from operating unmanned aircraft to reconnoitre, to directing local masons to make sand table restoration, Huang Hu did it all by himself, which took a lot of energy. Now Liao Yun has handed over this explanation to him, and he has a sense of gratitude, plus it is a public occasion, and he also calls Huang Hu's expression.

I made up for sleep early, and Huang Hu, who had only hurried to the venue a moment ago, stood in front of the stage with great energy, and the other people saw it and quickly let go of a vacancy.

"Can you see the places where small flags are planted everywhere on this sand table?"

Everyone followed the sound and looked at the Yellow Bird in his hand, and sure enough, they saw that there were indeed many small red flags outside the Kuching 'city' along the winding paths in the dense forest. I'm afraid that the smart ones have also thought of it somewhat.

Huang Hu didn't give people too many opportunities to reverie, but pointed over one by one with the thin bamboo pole in his hand, "The Bau Department, with a population of more than 800, lives on hunting among the tribes; The Malahan region, with a population of more than 1,500 people, has a fishing port and its residents are good at fishing and hunting; Shelia barbarians, more than 700 people, can farm; The Lundu Department, with a population of more than 2,000, is divided into more than 10 villages, farming along both sides of the Lundu River, and has both fishing and hunting ......"

Huang Hu read it in one breath, like a number of treasures, but the people listening next to him were no longer sure.

Since the landing, whether it is cleaning up the market or rectifying the splashes, the first impression of the Song people is that they are fair and strict, not only do things in a proper manner, but also officials and sergeants never accept bribes, which undoubtedly makes them have some good feelings among the local low-level people. Of course, Kuching is not as crowded as the big cities of later generations, where there is no distinction between rich and poor. Therefore, the so-called fairness is also limited, but there was not much law here, and only a few days after the Song people arrived, they greatly promoted the rule of law in this place, and arrested many scoundrels in the market, so they won the support of the people in Hong Kong.

But there is another thing that says that this Song people are as careful as a hair.

Not to mention the classification and purchase of books, not to mention the various sophisticated equipment and goods of the Song people, just the inspectors who patrol the port every day are strictly in accordance with the regulations, and there is no perfunctory meaning. The things that his so-called strategy division and camp do are all step by step, and they are really like machines.

Taking this method of collecting and merging with tun, it is obviously not a whim of Taiwei Liu, it must be the product of thinking about it for a long time. But just thinking about it is not enough, those present are all walking in the mall for a long time, even though there is no so-called officialdom here, but it is the same. There is never a shortage of people with ideas, what is lacking is only implementation, Qi Sizhong feels that the heart of this Song people is as careful as a hair, in fact, the joints are still in this effective execution, and any idea can be implemented because of its unity, which can order and prohibit.

And it is even more unimaginable, that is, when did the Song people feel the bottom of the barbarians so clearly? Right under his own nose, it stands to reason that even if it is really the credit of the iron bird as he thinks, he may find the exact location of each department, Thaksin, but even knowing the population and habits of each department in this way is really a little creepy, which is no longer something that can be said to be meticulous.

Master Qi and everyone here naturally did not know that in addition to the reconnaissance of the unmanned aircraft, there was also a credit to Hu Barong, but the information provided by Hu Barong alone was only scratching the surface, and no one among the natives would be able to understand how powerful the historical database could be.

It's just that everyone's hearts are surging, and one person is forced to calm down.

Originally, it seemed that the means of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai would not work, but Zhao En summoned and whispered to him, and it seemed that several in-laws in the west and south were going to inform him in advance. As soon as this Huang official said it, his understanding of the situation of the various ministries far exceeded his expectations, but he had all learned this level, could it be that the Song people really didn't know the relationship between the various ministries and him? Just pretend not to say it.

But one thing is certain, the idea that the Song people want to use troops against the barbarians is so certain. In all fairness, with a strong military force in hand and the most detailed information from all departments, even if you change it, you may have the mind to calm the surrounding areas.

After all, no one thinks they have too much territory.
