Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo, two brothers, accompanied by Zhang Nai, Wang Long, Luo Hu, Wang Si and other young generals of the two Chuang Cao, wandered around Kaifeng City and beyond.

However, this Kaifeng Mansion is known as the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties, located on the Qianli Plain in eastern Henan, connected to Shangqiu in the east, adjacent to Zhengzhou in the west, Xuchang and Zhoukou in the south, and Zhangde Mansion across the Yellow River in the north. It has the reputation of "Qishu Mingxia Wufeng Tower, Yimen Imperial State since ancient times", "Bianjing is rich and beautiful in the world", and there are many places to play.

Since King Wei built the capital of Daliang, it is the famous capital of Dayi, a place where humanities gather. There have been many stories such as Mencius You Liang, stealing talismans to save Zhao, as well as Sun Bin and Pang Juan, etc., and also left a lot of monuments to Kaifeng, which is worthy of being called the first capital of the ancient city of Kaifeng.

During the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Later Tang Dynasty, the Later Liang, the Later Jin, the Later Han Dynasty, and the Later Zhou Dynasty successively set their capitals in Kaifeng, calling it the "Eastern Capital" or "Tokyo", and Kaifeng during this period officially replaced Luoyang as the political, economic, cultural, and military center of that period. Later Liang Dingdu Kaifeng 17 years, although the time is short, but Kaifeng's rent is lighter, and the people get recuperation. At the same time, the opening of the capital of Liangding was an important milestone in shifting China's political center from the west to the eastern plains.

In the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei and Chai Rong father and son built a large number of Kaifeng Mansions in Bianliang, Tokyo at that time. Three expeditions to the Southern Tang Dynasty and the capture of the land of the "Fourteen Prefectures of Huainan". The resumption of Jianghuai Cao transportation has further improved Kaifeng's economy. In 955, Chai Rong mobilized another 100,000 people to build an outer city outside the original Bianzhou City. The scale of Kaifeng City is expanding more and more.

The last time in Kaifeng, there was a fortified city in front and reinforcements in the back, and the young generals in this group of peasant armies had no time to pay attention to these things. Now that I am busy, I can spend my time listening to the people in the camp who are familiar with the situation in Kaifeng talk about the origin of Kaifeng City.

Speaking of Kaifeng, we can't fail to mention the Northern Song Dynasty. And the Northern Song Dynasty could not avoid the Chen Qiao mutiny.

On a whim, everyone led their own soldiers. Under the guidance of the guide, he went straight to Chenqiaoyi, which was 40 miles north of Kaifeng City.

When you enter the town, where do you go to find the shadow of the stormy meeting back then?

I saw that the streets were also bustling and lively, and several workshops were busy with their own livelihoods. The crowd dismounted and walked to a workshop. But it's fragrant. But it is an oil mill that extracts oil.

Zhang Dingguo walked to the front and took a closer look, and saw that the house sat in the north and faced south, with four rooms wide and a width of about five zhang. Four rooms deep. The depth of the passage is about four zhang, covering an area of about three minutes, and there is a courtyard behind it, which is thought to be the residue of soybean material and oil extraction. The house is a bungalow, the roof is made of hard hills, five beams with three steps in the front and two steps in the back, ten purlins, and a mixed type of lifting beams and buckets. There are doors on the front and back walls.

Come in. But I saw that the oil truck was not the kind I had seen everywhere. I couldn't help but be interested, so I called the owner of the oil mill. Ask about the origin of this oil truck.

The boss said that this oil car, by the grinding of the pulp, the grinding wheel, etc., the grinding groove elsewhere is made of more than one foot to seven feet long, more than one foot wide bluestone special processing spliced into a circle, the outer diameter of the middle carved out of the dregs, the width of the mouth is seven inches, more than one inch deep, half an inch thick. The diameter of the grinding wheel is more than five feet, and the thickest part is one foot. The upper part of the central shaft (beam bolt) is fixed on the cross beam, and one end of the iron arm is connected to the central shaft, and the other end is connected to the roller. Pull with oxen. Only our family is a new oil truck bought in Shandong, which uses iron grinding grooves, which produces oil quickly and more oil.

Everyone took a few looks, in addition to the oil truck, there are also steamers, frying ovens, needless to say, in addition to sesame oil, rapeseed oil and soybean oil can also be squeezed.

The boss is also a person who nods his head and has clear eyebrows, seeing that this group of generals are all brightly dressed and armored, and with a large group of personal soldiers, he thinks that he should be the leader of the righteous army. Immediately, he ordered someone to go to the back and fetch some fried beans for the generals to feed the horses.

Such a move immediately made Zhang Kewang and King Zhang Ding very happy.

These people grew up on horseback almost as a child, and they have even more affection for horses than women. According to Zhang Kewang's words, if the woman is gone, she can go to find it again, and a familiar war horse is gone, so I am afraid that it will not be replenished for a while.

The horsemen led the horses of several generals to the streets of Chenqiaoyi to wash and drink water and walk the horses, and a few people looked for a tavern on the street to talk about the horse breeding and management of each family.

At present, most of the war horses of the peasant army are collected from all over the world, because there is no stable horse farm, so there are few young horses raised by themselves. This is different from the military horse replenishment system of the Nanyue Army.

"When I was in Shandong, I heard from the officers of the horse battalion under Mr. Li that their horses were raised in a special horse farm. The mares give birth to foals, and the young are raised in the military horse farm for four years, and in the autumn when the horses are five years old, the ponies are selected and added to the army with the right body size. ”

After the ponies are discharged from the army, the veterinary officer is in charge of a year-long recruit training, that is, the training of new horses. The training is divided into two phases, the first phase is seven months long, focusing on various sports methods and troop marching training; The second stage is five months long and focuses on training the horses for endurance. Horses trained in new horses will be inspected at a ceremony after which they will be assigned to various grassroots units. Horses assigned to each unit after completion of training shall have a period of 10 years.

At present, although Li Zicheng's Chuang Camp and Luo Rucai's Cao Ying cannot achieve such a system, the daily management system of War Horse has been learned by them.

The work of the cavalry unit after waking up every day is to complete the work of the stables, and the horses must be pulled out of the stables, and the horses must be washed and cleaned of their hooves, and at the same time provide forage for the horses; When the weather is fine, the hay in the stable for the horses to sleep and rest should be exposed to the sun and dried. The entire stable operation takes about half an hour, and according to the relevant regulations of the battalion, all units must complete all the stable operations and feed the horses before the troops are allowed to eat breakfast.

War horses are fed three times a day, and the usual feed includes sorghum, hay, salt, etc. During the war, the rations of military horses included other wheat, beans, oats, etc. Because horses need more water than humans, insufficient water can cause abdominal pain and hernia in horses, which is the main cause of illness and death in military horses. Therefore, the relevant regulations on battlefield service and the stated task of the troops when marching and camping are to provide sufficient drinking water for the horses, and the soldiers can only be provided with drinking water after the horses have finished drinking. For the safety and health of the horses, the stables had to be guarded twelve hours a day.

It seems that there is still a need to have a solid ground! This is what everyone is going to do.

"After I go back, I have to discuss with my father, this time I will go south to Huguang, no matter what, I want to get a stable territory in Huguang, Gannan and other places. Otherwise, don't say that you are competing with Li Zicheng, Li Shouhan and others for the world, and it is cheap not to be swallowed by them. "I found the gap between myself and Chuang Ying and Cao Ying day by day. Zhang Kewang's heart was as uncomfortable as fire. It has always been the Eight Kings who overpowered Li Zicheng, when did Feng Shui reverse and become Li Zicheng who suppressed the Eight Kings?

Between cranky thoughts. One of Luo Hu's own soldiers trotted down the street. "General Luo, in the ancestral hall in front, Mr. Wu Xing is giving classes to the brothers selected from each battalion to be sent to various places to be magistrates, do you want to go and have a look?"

This conversation fell into Zhang Kewang's ears. His interest was immediately aroused.

"Huzi. What is the origin of this Wu Xing? Who is superior? ”

Wang Long, who was sitting opposite Zhang Kewang, had a smug smile on his face, as if he was a fox who had stolen chickens.

"Brother Kewang, you have to ask me about the origin of this Wu Xing."

"Okay, that's what you say."

"That won't work. How can it be so simple, just say it with red lips and white teeth. Red sleeves in the evening, you have to treat my guests! "The red sleeve trick is also one of the best in Kaifeng City, and Wang Long, as a player, is all good at eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. Naturally, he is very clear about the doorway in this Kaifeng city.

"A word of the matter! Come. ”

Zhang Kewang called the leader of his own soldiers, "You go back to Kaifeng quickly." went to the red-sleeved trick that Wang Jiangye said, and said to the ** there, uncle, I will treat you there tonight and let her clear the scene. Prepare good wine and good food, leave the most beautiful girls for me, and we will invite the generals of Chuang Ying and Cao Ying to have a good drink! ”

Seeing Zhang Kewang so proud, it also made Wang Lung have nothing to say, and was about to find a step down, Luo Hu, who had not spoken for a long time, walked over, "Brother Kewang, in fact, there is nothing worth your fight." I'll just tell you about this. ”

To put it bluntly, it's worthless.

Wu Xing, who was currently in the ancestral hall for Chuang Ying and Cao Ying, who was selected from various ministries to be released as a magistrate, was originally just a team leader sent by Li Huayu to serve as the acting magistrate of southwest Lu, but he was a native of Shandong. As for how a Shandong man ran into the Nanyue Army, and became able to serve as the supreme leader in a county, the so-called role of Bailihou, the reason is that Luo Hu can't figure it out anyway.

It's a pity that Wu Xing's official luck is not good, and after he arrived, he was sick from the wind and cold, but Abatai was a soldier crossing the border and plundering, if it wasn't for Luo Hu leading the troops to chase and kill here, so that Abatai and Wang would not dare to think about attacking the city, I am afraid that Wu Xing will not become a ghost under the knife of Abatai, a thief and a bandit, and will also be punished by Li Huayu for the crime of losing the city.

"When I saw that he was sick, I ordered a doctor to treat him. I talked to him several times in the days when I was raising soldiers, and I felt that this person was quite proficient in civil affairs and money and food. So I started to abduct it. Luo Hu is also very calm, pouring beans from the bamboo tube generally explains how he met Wu Xing clearly.

Then it was simpler. Luo Hu and Wang Long ended their mercenary careers in the Dragon and Tiger Volunteer Battalion, returned to Henan from Jinan to return to the establishment, and when they went to southwest Lu, Luo Hu had a little thought.

"Anyway, we are going to fight the world. People like Wu Xing are definitely of great use to King Chuang. So, "Luo Hu was a little embarrassed.

So, with the help of Wu Xing's labor army out of the city, when Luo Hu and Wang Long and others were catching the wind, Luo Hu ordered people to suddenly attack, took Wu Xing on horseback, and added a whip to the horse's buttocks, and the horse team of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion went away. No matter how Wu Xing screamed on the horse, he scolded later, but he didn't let him down.

"Brother Luo Hu, I can't imagine that such an honest and honest person as you have actually learned the method of kidnapping people and kidnapping tickets?" Zhang Kewang had a laugh with Luo Hu, but his heart was racing. The people who can let the people who are ready to be sent out to act as magistrates by the two families of Chuang Cao come to listen to his lectures together, their abilities and talents are bound to be recognized by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. Even Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan, Ji Jue and others under the two of them have to be recognized. Otherwise, there would not be such a stirring of teachers.

"Let's go. Let's go and see what kind of master Mr. Wu Xingwu who was kidnapped by the Huzi brothers! ”

In the ancestral hall of Chen Qiaoyi, more than 100 county officials who were selected to prepare for the release sat in several rows, facing a middle-aged man with a thin face, on a huge blackboard with a stone pen made of stone powder, and drew dots on it, talking about what should be paid attention to as a magistrate. However, there seems to be something special about this course, which is almost a combination of literacy and teaching government.

Several generals quietly walked into the ancestral hall. Finding an empty seat to sit down, Zhang Kewang asked a battalion officer sitting in front of him in a low voice. "What did the gentleman say about that?"

"You ran out for a drink, didn't you? Beware of military law! The gentleman is talking about the princes, nobles, gentlemen, and officials of the imperial court. Even people with a little fame on their bodies eat better and live better than farmers, and the fields are still theirs! Listening to Zhang Kewang's northern Shaanxi dialect, the person in front knew that this was the Shaanxi Township Party, and naturally he knew everything.

"! If that person is not famous. Mo Tiandi. It's also a very good prince! ”

"Who's talking there?!" Wu Xing, who was standing on the stage, heard Zhang Kewang's loud voice and immediately asked.

"Sir, it's Russian!" Zhang Kewang was also generous, straightened his clothes, wrapped his armor in a cloak, stood up, and nodded slightly towards Wu Xing on the pulpit. "Sir, you fucking bullshit. The prince of the family has soldiers and power, and the land of course belongs to the people. People can do whatever they want. “

"Which general's subordinate are you?" The officer in charge of maintaining classroom discipline had never seen Zhang Kewang, and looked at the newcomer with some suspicion.

"Oh! Russia is following Zhang Dingguo! He just had something to do to go to the hut! Zhang Kewang deliberately made a joke with his fourth brother Zhang Dingguo. After saying this, he winked at Zhang Dingguo, who was sitting next to him, and was so angry that Zhang Dingguo cried or laughed, so he had to step on Zhang Kewang's leather boots fiercely.

Wu Xing laughed and said: "Okay, this new student who came with Zhang Dingguo said very well, and he can find out the questions by himself, this is the ability!" Well, you can get a copy of the reward later. Yes, having a gun is the king of grass. But the question now is, those princes have soldiers, and we also have them, since these princes can use their soldiers to create such a world full of sorrows, why can't we use the soldiers in our hands to create a new world where everyone has food? “

The words made everyone's blood boil, creating a new world, this thing sounded exciting, but everyone thought again, this is easy to say, but how to do it?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wu Xing said: "In fact, it is not difficult to build a new world, and now there are three things that farmers can't eat, the national tax is heavy, and Chongzhen Lao'er has increased taxes year after year in order to fight the war, and the three salaries have increased more and more." Officials in various places also renovate and require farmers to pay taxes in silver dollars, but poor farmers work hard all year round, and the best Tongbao may not be able to see a few, where to find silver dollars for them to pay for food? However, we don't have to worry about this, we don't need to pay his Chongzhen Lao'er taxes on the territory of the camp, if he wants to, he can send troops to ask us if we agree. “

Everyone couldn't help laughing, send troops over, don't be funny, Zuo Liangyu's army of more than 100,000 has just ended, and Chongzhen will not scatter beans into soldiers. Wu Xing continued: "These two items are heavy on rent!" We're going to take care of it. Because although we have conquered many cities, although the farmer does not have to pay Chongzhen's taxes, the rich man's rent and interest still have to be paid. In the past, the land rent was not low, but now most of them are more than sixty percent, and the money in India is even more than ninety out of thirteen. Farmers have such heavy oppression, how can they be fed and clothed. If it was before, I'm afraid I can only suggest that you kill a few rich people to vent your anger. But now, Shandong has set an example for us. When you all graduate, you will be assigned to various villages and towns in Henan, just like those officials in Shandong, and then implement the new policy of rent reduction and interest reduction. According to Shandong's new policy, the rent of thin fields cannot exceed 37, and the rent of fertile fields should not exceed 45, and the interest on loans should not exceed 2 cents. And the officials and gentry are all one in one body. Everyone has also farmed, do you still accept such a rent? ”

"Then what else to say, if it's all like this, although I can't say how good it is, but at least I can't be hungry." One stood up and said, but in an instant he apologized to Wu Xing embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry sir, I forgot to raise my hand." The crowd laughed again.

Wu Xing motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "This third is that farming is not cultivated." In the past, when I was in Nanzhong, this farmer used steel farming tools, used the improved seeds promoted by Ning Yuanbo, and the fertilizer was also very sufficient, and as for water conservancy, it was as dense as a spider's web, all over the place. But now in Henan, there is a shortage of agricultural tools, inferior seeds, and insufficient fertilizers, as for water conservancy, hehe, the Yellow River does not send big water, and if there are no locusts in the sky, it is God's grace. As for building water conservancy? That is the best excuse for officials and gentlemen everywhere to loot people's wealth, a dam, can start to collect all kinds of taxes and money from the Hongwu years, and it is still being repaired during the Chongzhen period! Therefore, if only the first two things are solved, then the common people still have to live a hard life, because God does not allow it. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve the last sentence, the development of production. After the students come to various places in the future, in addition to suppressing bandits and pushing the new policy, the key task is to concentrate the people's efforts to renovate farmland and water conservancy, which is the lifeblood of farmers, and it will be a disaster for several generations if they are not repaired in one day. At the same time, the renovation of water conservancy can also let the people see that we are a truly promising regime. We are not only good at fighting the government and the army, but also good at governing the country. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Xing paused for a moment, and then apologized and said: "No, I said the wrong thing just now, so I apologize to my classmates first." “

Everyone hurriedly raised their hands and said, "Sir, it's obviously very good, what's wrong?" “

Wu Xing said with a smile: "I just said that we are good at fighting the official army, but this is wrong, now we are the official army, and the thief is the thief." Mr. lost his words for a while, don't be surprised. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, now, everyone is a little excited, hehe, it turns out that we are now the official army. At this time, one of the students raised his hand and said, "Sir, just teach us three words first, kill the thief, I have been shouting these three words, but I don't know how to write them." ”

Wu Xing was also very happy to see that everyone was very high, so he said: "Okay, this thing is easy to say, I will teach you these three words now, but this literacy is more difficult, if you complain, I will not leave it here." ”

After hearing this, one person immediately raised his hand and said, "Sir, don't worry, after listening to your words, I feel that if I don't learn these three words, I will be sorry for my parents in heaven and earth." Sir, don't worry, we must learn these three words today, and we will engrave them in our hearts. ”

Seeing this, Wu Xing asked him to sit down first, and then wrote three words unhurriedly, and then said: "Okay, classmates, read with me, kill the thief... (To be continued......)
