Chapter 10 Ploughing War

Someone Yun 'modern' war is ploughing warfare, the so-called ploughing war is ploughing warfare, that is, ploughing warfare, that is, warfare, ploughing warfare is the integration of soldiers and peasants, both to ensure economic strength and military strength, Yuwenwen is a stabbing history in Bazhou, where the land is small and sparsely populated, and if you want to do something, you must squeeze all forces for ploughing and warfare.

The first to squeeze is his backbone, don't drive Xu Shao busy outside the day, go out during the day, and pick up the lamp to write at night, his duty is to organize the repair of water conservancy, completely renovate the Santai River outside Xiyang City, it is too late, but it is necessary to get the existing ditch in disrepair before the summer rainy season comes.

The Tian clan at the foot of Longtou Mountain knew that repairing water conservancy was beneficial to them, after all, the Santai River flowed through their farmland before reaching Xiyang City, and seeing that the state government was going to make great efforts to clear the dredging and rectification, they were also moved, and first sent the young and strong to be commanded by the state government, and then the whole clan went up together according to Xu Shao's command and began to control the water.

With sufficient manpower and solid iron tools, with the current repair progress, it can be completed before the rainy season, as long as it is not a big flood, then it can keep the land and fields of Xiyang County safe, Xu Shao is relieved that this is a sigh of relief, but there are still big things to be busy with next.

The Anzhou Governor's Mansion issued a proclamation to release the people who had been taken captive as slaves by the Zhou army more than two years ago in Jiangbei Prefecture, and the population that had moved from the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion half a year ago was also dispersed and settled in the prefectures.

These people are ordinary people, not prisoners, so the resettlement must be attentive, Xu Shao, as a civil affairs official, took on the heavy responsibility of placing these people, not only to settle down, but also to arrange things for them to do, it seems that there are a lot of things to do, even with the staff sent by the family, they are almost too busy.

Equally busy with him was Hao Wubo, who almost despaired as soon as the work of curing the bulging disease and eliminating snails was carried out: there were too many places with snails. Fortunately, Yu Wenwen suggested that he do it in stages, so now he is taking a warning to investigate.

In the cultivated farmland and places where there is a lot of human and animal activity, snails must be exterminated, and in other barren beaches and reed fields, signs must be erected to warn them, and the people who have fallen ill must also be killed in their original places of residence.

In order to kill the snails, he almost bought all the goods from the surrounding lime kilns, and commanded his men to throw lime in the day. This has to be hurried, because according to Yu Wenwen, the next Huangzhou, Anzhou, and Xiangzhou governors will start to kill snails, so I am afraid that quicklime will be in short supply in the future.

"Lang Jun, the food is going to be cold." A servant said, he saw Uncle Hao Wu eating lunch, eating and began to be in a daze again, and hurriedly reminded that Lang Jun has been busy almost every day since he started to be an official, and now it seems that it has only been a few months, and he actually feels a little disfigured.

The old housewife didn't know how distressed she was when she saw it!

"Ah Liu, don't talk to your family a lot, if your mother knows something, you will wait to be punished!"

"The little ones don't dare."

After Hao Wubo finished speaking, he continued to eat. In the past few months, he has finally begun to feel tired, but his heart is still boiling, this is the founding principle of the ancient sages, and it is also his goal, and the books for so many years are not just to show his ambitions?

Swelling disease, a common terminal disease in Jianghan, Sanwu, he has not been to it, but I heard my father mention that this disease is often there to make the whole village die, if the snail can really be treated, no, it is to prevent swelling disease, it is a merit for the benefit of the people.

Just as he was thinking that a clerk came in to report that a new batch of quicklime had arrived, Hao Wubo hurriedly finished eating and led people out of the state office to the north gate. Along the way, I saw many dilapidated houses being demolished and the foul-smelling ditches being cleaned.

A man in official uniform was pointing at the ditch, and several officials around him nodded frequently, and the man saw Hao Wubo, saluted, and then continued to direct people to work.

He is the main Bo Zhengtong, and now he is in charge of the 'Xiyang City Cleaning and Renovation Project', one of which is to demolish and rebuild the neighborhood with poor sanitation, the second is to treat the drainage ditches in the city and carry out renovation to prevent waterlogging, the third is to clean up the garbage dump and drain the sewage, the fourth is to clean up the human and animal feces in the neighborhoods, and the fifth is to exterminate rodents.

A mouse has two pennies, and a small one has a penny. Whether you live or die, you can get money from the state government, and Zheng Tong, who collects mice, is now called 'rat shopkeeper' by the people. The cost of the renovation project was paid for from the proceeds from the charity sale of glass mirrors that were 'donated' by the white turtle last year.

Abbot Zheng Tong's face was haggard in this work, and he had to lead people to demolish houses and clear dredging during the day, and he had to study the direction of various ditches with the lieutenant chief, and at night, he had to study sketches and plan a set of ditch systems that could reasonably discharge sewage.

Xiyang is naturally inferior to Jiangling, but in Zheng Tong's opinion, the drainage system of the city is not too bad, but after listening to Yu Wenwen's request, he is also restless: if the rainy season is waterlogged and there are garbage, feces, and dead livestock soaked everywhere, then if there is a plague, the whole city will die.

All the dilapidated houses should be demolished to prevent fire, and secondly, the rebuilt houses should be able to shelter the people from the wind and rain, the existing ditches should be cleaned up, all the things inside should be cleaned, and those that need to be expanded and rebuilt should be carried out together, and the smelly ponds and garbage heaps everywhere should be filled in or cleared to avoid breeding mosquitoes and flies. As for rats, it's best not to have one, so in order to encourage rodent extermination, they offer a high price to buy.

All this has to be done before the rainy season, Zheng Tong visited the city for several days, stayed up a few nights before finalizing the plan with the officials, and the next thing is to implement it, thanks to Yuwen Wen's high prestige, and killed a group of local snakes, plus the state government has strong financial resources and siblings, this work can be carried out smoothly, but even so, the time is still very urgent, so Zheng Tong is too busy to eat well.

The collected rats should be culled intensively, and all kinds of garbage should be disposed of. The habit of the people to defecate at will will not be changed for a while and a half, and they have to be supervised, and when they are demolished, they cry and shout that they want to live and die with the ancestral house, and they must find a way to persuade them to leave, and a lot of trivial things have to be solved, and he just hates that he can't be separated into several people and go into battle together.

After being busy for so many days, Zheng Tong almost couldn't even remember what the two little babies at home looked like

Even busier than him is Yang Ji, he is the state Sima, according to the civil affairs do not need to be managed, but shouldering the responsibility of guiding the rice transplanting method, so that he is very busy, the official field must use the rice transplanting method, and the fields divided by the soldiers of the Hulin Army outside Bahe City must also be implemented, and Yang Ji, the only one who has mastered the key points of the rice planting method, has become a busy man.

Every day, he was busy guiding the seedlings and going to the scene to solve problems, and most of the days passed when he came and went, and then he had to rectify the city defense. Fortunately, this work is mainly in charge of Changshi Ren Chong, otherwise he would not want to sleep at night.

The predecessor of the assassin has repaired the Xiyang city wall, so now it is the arrow tower that needs to be rectified, the original dilapidated arrow tower should be torn down to build a fire-resistant masonry structure arrow tower, and a closed sentry tower was built in each critical place to avoid being attacked by thieves easily.

In view of the lessons learned from the rebellion on Chinese New Year's Eve, the defensive measures of the various squares should be strengthened and the Wanghuo Tower must be improved, all of which require a lot of energy, manpower, material and financial resources.

The number of standing state soldiers is not large, if the enemy army is attacking and besieging the city, it is necessary to organize young people to help defend the city. Yang Ji was brewing and waiting for the agricultural slack to organize a 'crash course', so that the young people in Xiyang City had the basic ability to defend the city, and Shi Yu Wenwen was a strong supporter of this, and he also threw the burden to him, picking the name alone, saying: "This official is optimistic about you!" ”

The Tiger Forest Army is an offensive knife, then the state soldiers of Bazhou are mainly defensive, if the Tiger Forest Army is fighting outside, then the heavy responsibility of defending the city falls into the hands of the state soldiers and Qingzhuang, if you can't defend Xiyang City, then Yuwen Wen can rest assured outside.

His family members are all in the city, if he gets rid of Ma Chao like Ma Chao in the Three Kingdoms, the whole family is trapped in the city and killed, then he will have the heart to die, and the safety of Xiyang City Yuwen Wen will be directly handed over to Yang Ji.

The construction of water conservancy and extinguishing snails is to prepare for farming to increase income and expand the area of farmland, which is the so-called farming, and the war needs soldiers, and the rectification of state soldiers and city defense is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Yuwenwen began to expand the army.

In Bahe City, many people have settled in the city with their families. These people are the soldiers of the Xiangyang Navy who moved from Xiangzhou and their families, and they are also the old neighbors of Zhang Yu, a servant of Yuwenwen.

After the rectification of Xiangzhou Thorn Shiyu civilization, the treatment of the Xiangyang Navy has improved a lot, but many people are still willing to move their families to Bazhou to join the command of Xiaoyu Wenjun, according to Zhang Yu's introduction, they know that there are enough lakes here to fish.

If you have a choice, no one wants to take the boat as your home, if you can, everyone wants to have a piece of their own land to farm, no matter how bad it is, there must be a piece of fish in the waters to fish, Xiangyang Navy is just a part-time fisherman on weekdays, how can there be so many fish in Hanshui, so many people share.

But the lake in the east of Bahe City will be the place where they fish in the future, and the city will collect as much as they want, and now Xiao Yuwen has given them houses to live in Bahe City, and it is said that in the future, the wasteland will be reclaimed into fertile land, and if they make meritorious contributions, they will be eligible to share.

With a house and a steady catch of fish, plus hope. These Xiangyang Navy soldiers who settled in Bazhou are full of energy, and Xiao Yuwen wants to use them as the backbone to rebuild the Bazhou Navy Army, but there is no need to fight with Chen Guo's Navy for a while. Now their task is to fish, and many lakes in Bazhou do not have to work the Yangtze River.

Zhang Yu is busy helping the old neighbors to settle down, Bahe City is now his Lang Lord has begun to settle the relatives of the Hulin Army soldiers and hundreds of Xiangyang Navy soldiers who moved over, the original Bazhou Navy has also moved in together after rectification, according to the Lang Lord's plan, he will start to build a fortress in Bakou as a Bazhou Water Village.

"How, little fish, do your neighbors need help?" Fifth Brother Chen, the military master, asked. He is now appointed as the lord of Bahe City, responsible for the affairs of the city, and the hundreds of households that the Xiangyang Navy moved to settle down in were specially explained by Yuwen Wen to do a good job.

Zhang Yu said with a smile that everything went smoothly and after waiting for a few days to get used to it, everyone could go to the lake to fish, Fifth Brother Chen nodded when he heard this, he and other meritorious soldiers all had houses and fields in Bahe City, and now the soldiers who divided the fields have called relatives and friends to come and settle down, so Bahe City is now very lively.

According to Yu Wenwen's plan. Bahe City will also be expanded, the fields outside the city have been almost divided, and then the wasteland outside the Hulin Army camp is about to be reclaimed, and after Xu Shao has managed the Santai River, he will turn the barren beach into fertile land, and those fertile fields are waiting for the meritorious soldiers of the Hulin Army to divide.

The wasteland outside the barracks near the Santai River is actually very suitable for reclamation, but because of the flood in the rainy season and I don't know if there is the terrible bulging disease, so no one cares.

With the expectation that the fields can be divided, the Hulin Army is holding back its strength and waiting for the battle to make meritorious contributions, even the fifth brother Chen himself is also enthusiastic, he was originally an ordinary soldier in the Anzhou army, and later with the Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County entered Beijiang Prefecture, went deep into the tiger's den and made meritorious contributions, and then formed a new army and became a general, step by step to the present.

Then he wants to follow Yu Wenwen to continue to walk, make meritorious contributions, earn family business for his family, not only all his soldiers think so, so they train extremely hard, and now everyone is waiting for something to happen there, and they will kill the past and make meritorious contributions.

"With the expansion of the army, there are more things that can be done." Fifth Brother Chen looked at the military camp in the wilderness across the river on the west side and muttered to himself......

In the barracks, the newly recruited soldiers are lining up to listen to the training, they are the lucky ones who heard that the army of Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County is going to recruit again, and finally passed the screening and was selected.

Over the past year, the good treatment of the fellow villagers who followed the Xiyang County Gong as a soldier made them envious, so they were all excited to be selected, and at the same time, some people who moved from Jingzhou to Bazhou were recruited, and the young and strong people were selected, so that there were two thousand people together.

Tian Zhengyue, the lord of the building, stood on the stage with a paper horn to preach military discipline, these recruits are trained by him, so they are also high-spirited, if according to the standard of five households raising one soldier, the original 3,000 people of the Hulin Army are already the limit of the number of full-time soldiers that Bazhou can raise with less than 20,000 households, and now the new 2,000 people are completely raised by the commander Yu Wenwen to raise money and food, so he wants to train these two thousand people into soldiers instead of waste.

"If you join the Tiger Forest Army and don't practice a layer of skin, you won't be qualified, are you ready!"

"It's done!" The response was a bit sloppy.

"It's too quiet, say it again!"

"It's done!!" The response was thunderous.

"Very well, now the recruits are starting to roll call! Whoever calls the name answers loudly!! ”

According to the successful experience of the previous training, these teams were selected from the veterans of the Tiger Forest Army, and specially led the training of new soldiers; a year ago, they were still poor people who did not know anything, and they joined the Tiger Forest Army and went to the battlefield after four months of crazy training, and after repeated bloody battles, they had today's achievements.

According to the previous training steps and lessons learned, they are full of confidence in training the recruits in front of them into qualified soldiers: so we will all suffer again!

One after another, the questions and answers sounded, and the recruit team was beginning to name the recruit team under their respective jurisdictions, and the recruits who were named responded loudly, so that the team knew them and let their colleagues get acquainted with each other.

"Liu Hulu!"

"Yes!"

"Liang Sanguan!"

"Yes!"

"Zhang Xutuo!"

"Yes!!" (To be continued.) )
