"The land is vast and sparsely populated!" Liu Demuro held a pen and pressed the book book, and sighed beside Gao Yue.

"Well, in this case, Yingtian naturally depends on the athletes." On the field outside the Gantang tree and grass hut, all the soldiers standing in the fields with foreheads and trousers, Jingyuan and Fan Yang, could not see the edge.

These 3,400 soldiers were the foundation of his career.

Then Gao Yue got up, stood in the middle of the soldiers, and lectured everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been 25 years since the Kazakh disaster has been in constant trouble. War, famine is like a shadow, this holy lord is so hungry and happy, and he asks for ancient and modern orders. And there is no one who can help this problem than Tuntian......"

Later, Gao Yue raised a military order, saying that as court officials, you all have the responsibility of "repairing city defenses, building houses, city gods, and public houses".

After clearly explaining his purpose and obligations, the first thing Gao Yue did was to select 70 county officials from among the 3,400 battalion soldiers, in order to pursue the effect of "the county has governance, the administration has officials, the officials have apprentices, and the field has husbands."

These 70 county officials are the backbone of the team that immediately built the city and camped the fields.

In fact, Gao Yue originally rushed to Yuanzhou to run the tuntian and the office, and he could apply to the imperial court to equip himself with tun officials and county officials, such as former senior officials (who had been officials before but are now idle), Chang Xuan (talents selected by the Ministry of Officials), civil and military officials (those with a loose official rank, but no specific position) can be tun officials, county officials, county lieutenants, etc., and such as Pinzi (children of high-quality officials), and Xunguan (soldiers with honors) can be tun deputy officials.

However, Gao Yue, who "knew that Yuanzhou was in the state and knew the affairs of Yingtian Patrol Hospital", did not ask the imperial court so much, because the origin of this group of people was complicated, and the good and bad were different, and he was not at ease about the people selected by the officials, so he directly selected them from the officers and soldiers of Yingtian.

Liu Demu, the master of Lingtai County's palm print, never expected that he had just become an official and became the chief examiner in the grass, and Gao Yue's standard for selection was "being able to judge texts and be a director", in fact, it was necessary to be able to read and break words, understand talismans, and write talismans.

The candidates were sweating in the hot sun, and there were not so many books and stationery, so everyone squatted on the sand, broke branches and wrote on the ground - the chief examiner Liu De's room patrolled back and forth.

Gao Yue reminded him before, "Brother Fang Zhai, when you select officials, don't examine any poetry and literature, look upright, speak and think smartly, and be coarse in writing and ink." ”

To some extent, this can also be regarded as a "judgment of words and words".

Liu Demuro lowered the standard appropriately according to what Gao Yue said, and finally selected 70 people.

Next, there were a hundred beacons and three hundred wanderers, and Gao Yue selected those who could ride horses and were agile and agile, and they were soon ready.

Then it is to select the tun officer, tun deputy, tun head, and tun zuo from the camp soldiers, "Jingyuan soldiers 15 tun, Fan Yang soldiers 6 tun, each tun 130 people, set up a tun officer, two tun deputy members, every ten hectares set up a tun team, each tun a total of thirteen tun teams, each tun team set up a tun head member, tun zuo two members, choose the good farmer for it." ”

There is nothing difficult in this selection, many of the battalion soldiers in Jingyuan were previously followed by Gao Yue in Baiquan to open a tun, originally "who farms in the hot weather", and now many people are already good at cultivating the fields.

Even higher, Gao Yue promised to give them twenty percent of the "net worth of rice" after harvesting, so everyone's mood was even higher, and even Fan Yangbing was eager to try.

But in the end, Gao Yue under the grass shed put forward a new requirement for the selection of tun officials, tun deputies, etc., that is, "school archery".

It's the technique of shooting a bow and arrow.

Just as the soldiers were whispering, Gao Yue had already laughed in his heart, he had already discussed this with the Ming Xuan Master.

After finding out the characteristics of the Wonju region, Gao Yue decided to resurrect the "government military system" to a certain extent. Of course, his "government soldiers" do not need to go to the capital to guard at all, but the "subordinate soldiers" who combine farming and warfare to protect their own tuntian.

Master Ming Xuan was quite familiar with the affairs of the world, and he first suggested to Gao Yue that he could follow the military practice of Li Baozhen, who was in the army of Ze and Lu Zhao:

So how did Li Bao really cultivate immortals, no, how did he train the army? It turned out that he was guarding Ze and Lushi, because the farmland in Benzhou was barren and difficult to supply the army, and because he was strangled by the party's heavy land, he faced the rebellion of Heshuo Xiongzhen, and he had a heavy responsibility, and he could not simply count on the imperial court to receive help, so Li Baozhen checked the household registration, and then asked all the men to elect one of the three, register it in the book, exempt from rent and tax, and issue bows and arrows, and ordered them to say that you will practice archery in different classes when the farm is slack, and I will come to assess at the end of the year, and those who are excellent in archery will be rewarded, and those who are poor will be punished. At the end of the year, everyone was called to compete, and after fulfilling their promise, they were asked to continue doing so the following year.

Just three years later, Li Baozhen gathered all the township soldiers and archers, and found that they were all proficient in archery, and did not cause additional burdens to the prefectures and counties, so he used the money saved to make armor to arm them, that is, 20,000 soldiers, and since then the elite of the Zhaoyi infantry army has covered the world.

Gao Yue listened to Monk Mingxuan's plan, but he innovated Li Baozhen's military training methods:

"This is the second benefit of the military tun, this group of people is not a farmer with no experience in war, they are soldiers, they can shoot a two-stone war bow, save the effort of training from scratch, they can touch the hoe to plow the land, and they can also go to the battlefield to fight the enemy. They can maintain excellent marksmanship faster without being out of production, and they can also form combat effectiveness faster than Li Baozhen's Zhaoyi Army. ”

Soon, the soldiers dug up the soil, made long stacks, and erected targets. Gao Shiyu took the lead, personally pulled the bow, and set an example for all the soldiers, and in a burst of cheers, he fired three arrows in a row, all of which hit the target fifty steps away, and it seemed that he was trained well by Mrs. Huanhua.

With the high servant of the personal shooting, the soldiers are also convinced, according to the establishment of the tun, each with a bow and arrow in turn to "shoot the long battlement", after the comprehensive farming, archery two, soon the tun official, tun deputy, tun head and tun zuo all elected.

Gao Yue asked that each cantonment detachment practice archery in his spare time, and then set up a teaching test center in the center of Baili New Town, and every month the soldiers of the nearby cantonment camps and fields should come here to gather and test, and then test the school archery, which I personally supervised; The road is far away, and the flat and open land is selected to set up the battlements, and I will personally supervise it.

At the same time, the cantonment teams gather together on weekdays to cultivate, and they are inseparable from each other in wartime.

After arranging the personnel, the materials in Fengxiang and Jingzhou Military Mansions arrived first, cattle, calf carts, rations, etc., and then Ming Xuan began to personally plan the Baili New City.

The old city of Baili was only a fortress scale, the area was smaller than the Daming Palace Jixian Courtyard where Gao Yue had served, so Ming Xuan asked to set the old city as "Beizi City", its north side is adjacent to Daxichuan, Lijia Tower, salt warehouse, small warehouse and other key institutions, and increase the height and reinforcement of the city wall, three sides are city walls, leaving only a south gate to communicate with "Nanzi City".

Nanzi City is the center of the entire Baili New Town.
