Chapter 93: Wuling is in turmoil
Being able to abduct the medical saint can be regarded as an unexpected gain for Liu Cong to return to Xiangyang again, after returning to Jiangling, in addition to giving his subordinates the title of knight as soon as possible. It is to organize forces to build medical centers and open medical schools. Zhang Zhongjing's son also moved from Xiangyang to Jiangling, along with many of Zhang Zhongjing's colleagues and Shen Huai, who watched Zhang Zhongjing's jokes.
In order to liberate Zhang Zhongjing, Liu Cong specially arranged for someone to help him, focusing on the study of dealing with the plague and sorting out the theory of typhoid treatment. At the same time, in Nanjun, young people who are interested in studying medicine are selected to study in the medical center in Jiangling for free, and those who can successfully pass the assessment will receive nine grades of money when they enter the army, and Liu Cong is also responsible for funding those who open their own medical clinics.
That is, this inadvertent move has an indelible contribution to Jingzhou and even the whole of China in the following decades, which is a later story. Liu Cong obeys the medical profession and attaches great importance to education, and Zhang Zhongjing is naturally happy to see it. Liu Cong also waited for Zhang Zhongjing's research results and the medical officers he trained, and planned to equip the army with a nighttime medical system in the future to ensure that wartime injuries could be treated while preventing non-combat attrition.
Not long after returning to Jiangling, the late rice in each county was harvested one after another, and the receipt list was also reported to Liu Cong. Li Yan's Zigui collected 50,000 stone of grain, 20,000 stone of Yiling and Zhijiang, and 30,000 stone of public security. Liu Ba was responsible for harvesting 150,000 stones of 50,000 acres of land in Jiangling and the surrounding areas. These are all additional harvests from the tuntian, and although the yield of the first rice field is somewhat low, even this yield is enough to feed nearly 10,000 people.
In the coming year, with green manure as a foundation, it is not a problem to increase the output by hundreds of thousands, so the conscription was once again put on the agenda by Liu Cong. First, the training of troops in winter will not delay farm work, and the scale can be appropriately expanded, and those who are not qualified can also go home to work before the beginning of spring.
As soon as Liu Cong ordered the conscription, there was a report from Li Yan's side, and it turned out that Li Yan had already taken it upon himself to recruit 1,000 soldiers in Zigui.
Although Li Yan had been promoted to lieutenant by Liu Cong, the military system of each county still needed to be strictly unified, so Liu Cong discussed with Wen Ping, Zhuge Liang and others and decided to reform the military system in the county. In addition to maintaining the regular army establishment in Gangneung, each county maintains 500 county soldiers, and one or two battalions of reserve troops are allowed, each battalion has 500 men.
The county will transfer reserves to Gangneung at any time according to demand, and then the counties can continue to recruit reserves. According to this law, each county can maintain a maximum of 1,500 troops, and although it is a reserve, if the three counties directly under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang are excluded, the first-level public security and Jiangling counties, each county can hide 18,000 to 20,000 troops at full strength. Of course, the only ones who were allowed to recruit two battalions of reservists were Li Yan, who completely belonged to Liu Cong and had tuntian to feed, such as Yiling and Zhijiang.
The counties recruited soldiers, and Gangneung also carried out the recruitment work on a large scale. The new conscription program is still maintained at 4,000 to 5,000 men. First, the training will not be too hasty, and second, the weapons and equipment will be able to keep up. Of course, these are mainly the tasks of Wenpin and Zhuge Liang. Liu Cong's participation is mainly in the training of elite soldiers, and these people will all be grassroots officers in the future, in addition to having excellent physical and military qualities, they must also establish good feelings and loyalty to Liu Cong.
At the beginning of November, Liu Cong was training a new batch of soldiers as usual, and Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan sent a letter saying that after the autumn harvest was over, Wuling Barbarians in the county began to make trouble again, hoping that Liu Cong could send troops to get rid of them. Originally, this kind of thing should have been reported directly to Xiangyang.
The reason why Jin Xuan invited Liu Cong first was not only because of his importance to Liu Cong, but also because he was suspicious.
As soon as Liu Cong heard Wu Lingman, he suddenly came to his senses, and now Jingzhou seems to be calm, but two years later, Cao Cao's southern expedition was a black cloud of 800,000 troops, and he was struggling to find the opportunity to train his troops. Since Liu Cong entered the southern county, the bandits who had been in trouble in the county were either exterminated or fled to other places, and no one wanted to mix in the jurisdiction of a militant with 8,000 county soldiers.
Wuling Barbarian ...... Liu Cong knew that although this Wuling Man was not as influential as that mountain, it was also a force that should not be underestimated.
Wulingman, located in the western part of present-day Hunan Province to the eastern boundary of Guizhou, has been constantly resisting since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the reign of Sun Wu, Wuling Manbarian captured the city. Sun Quan took Huang Gai as the Wuling Taishou, the barbarians came to attack the city, when the county soldiers were only 500 people, Gai Nai opened the city gate, and the barbarian soldiers were half a person and attacked it, and hundreds were killed, and the rest were scattered.
Later, Huang Gai collected all the tribes, killed all the leaders, and after several months of rebellion, he was completely quelled. The history is called "all the secluded Ba, Li(slang), (slang), and the birth (Shu) of the marquis of Yi, all of whom are bowed and surrendered." In the spring of the first year of Wu Huangwu (222), Liu Bei raised his army to attack Wu in the east, from Yishan (now Changyang County, Hubei), through Wuling, so that his cronies Ma Liang gave Wuling barbarians with gold silk and awarded them official titles. After Liu Bei was defeated by Wu's general Lu Xun, Ma Liang also died in Wuxi.
In the second year of Huanglong (230), Wuling rebelled against Wu, and in the following year, Sun Quan ordered Pan Jun to join Lü Dai, Lü Fan, Zhu Ji and other overseers of 50,000 people to go to the town to suppress it, and after three years of fighting, it was victorious. History said that it was "the group of barbarians weakened, and the party was quiet".
In the sixth year of Wu's grandson Xiu Yong'an (263 years), Shu was destroyed in Wei, Wuling barbarians bordered Shu, and the Wu people were afraid of chaos, so they took Zhong Limu as the general of Ping Wei and led Wuling Taishou. Wei also sent Guo Chun to guard Wuling, and entered Chisha (now Baojing County, Hunan) in Qianling County, and induced Zhuyi Jun to attack Xiyang County.
The county was frightened, and the general of Fuyi noblely thought: Xipan Taichang supervised 50,000 soldiers, and then begged Wuxi Yi'er, when Liu's Lian and Zhuyi were rated, so that there was no help from the past, and Guo Chun had moved to the tomb, and the Ming Mansion went deep with 3,000 soldiers, and he had not yet seen its benefits.
Mu didn't listen, led the morning and night march, the edge of the mountain dangerous, hanging 2,000 miles, beheading more than 100 people in Wuxi and more than 1000 levels of the party. So the Wuxi barbarians belonged to Wu again. Since then, Zhong Limu has successively served as the ** governor and the governor of the wet beard, and "the former general has a holiday festival and leads the Wuling Taishou." After death, the family has no money to spare, and the people think about it". It shows that the people of all ethnic groups in Wuling are still willing to support Qing officials.
Jin Xuan first settled the county in Wuling according to Liu Cong's rule of thieves, but it was not an overnight thing to show mercy to the barbarians in Wuling, and Liu Cong didn't want to be in turmoil in Wuling before he entered Jingzhou.
Now Jin Xuan took the initiative to ask for help, Liu Cong has soldiers in his hands, and he is the general of Pingnan, which can be said to be a famous division. So Liu Cong wrote to Xiangyang overnight, saying that he would agree to Jin Xuan's request to send troops to quell the barbarians. For such a trivial matter, Liu Biao will definitely not interfere.
Wen Ping and Zhuge Liang had some thoughts about Liu Cong's going to send troops to Pingman, and they were even more surprised when they heard that Liu Cong was going to take 6,000 people. You must know that there are only 8,000 veterans in the whole of Gangneung now.
"Lord, just a barbarian, and far away in Wuling, why do you work so much?"
"Sir, don't you really know?"
"Please make it clear!" In Zhuge Liang's view, the Wuling barbarians mentioned by Jin Xuan are only forty or fifty thousand people, but dozens of tribes, scattered all over the place, even if there is chaos, it will only harass one or two county towns in Wuling County. And now is a good time for Liu Cong to train his troops in Jiangling, such a large-scale lead of troops, Wulingman must hide in the mountains and forests to avoid it, Liu Cong will go to a vain.
"I am peaceful to stabilize the territory and to supply soldiers."
Liu Cong came from a later generation, and the influence of Shanyue on the Sun Wu regime is vividly visible. In the third year of Han Jian'an, Yuan Shu sent people to excite Shanyue, and the troops were united to plot to attack and chop the strategy, but fortunately, Sun Ce coped with it properly and broke Shanyue, otherwise he was afraid that Jiangdong would become Yuan Shu's territory.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, the generals were dispatched to pacify Shanyue.
In the eighth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan went west to conquer Huangzu, and when he was about to break the city, Shanyue recovered, seriously threatening Bei, Wu's rear, and forcing Sun Quan to withdraw his troops.
In the ninth year of Jian'an, he sent Lu Fanping Poyang, Cheng Pu Shile'an, Tai Shi Ci Linghai Dusk, and Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, etc. served as the county magistrates of the areas with the most frequent Shanyue activities, and Xiping Shanyue in various places.
But until the twenty-second year of Jian'an, Lu Xun was still conquering Shanyue in the three counties of Huiji, Danyang and Xindu, and Lu Xun made it clear that the main purpose of the crusade against Shanyue was to expand the army, and Lu Xun alone obtained several elite soldiers from Shanyue.
In the third year of Wu Jiahe, don't worship Zhuge Ke as the general of Fuyue, lead Danyang Taishou, Zhuge Ke moved the book to the four adjacent counties, ordered each to protect the border, and then divided the troops to choke the dangerous places, divided and surrounded Shanyue, only repaired the fence, did not confront each other, waited for its grain to be ripe, plundered the army, and forced Shanyue to survive with hunger.
Zhuge Ke selected 40,000 of them as soldiers, and the rest moved to flat land as households.
