Chapter 237: Pros and Cons of Spring Ploughing

Protection nodded, although Yingbu's strength was not detected, it could be guessed even if he guessed, although it was not as good as Xiang Yu, it was not something that ordinary fierce generals could contend with. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"After all, Yingbu is the commander of the army, and the number of times he comes out to fight is not very much, but every time it is a final word, basically we are dumb when he comes out!" Jia Xu smiled bitterly, "In addition, the generals in the opposing army, such as Mei Kai and Chen Xuan, are also very brave, and only a few generals in the Han army can fight against them." ”

Mei Kai, a general at the end of Qin, and a general of Wu Rui, the king of Changsha.

At the end of Qin, the world was in turmoil, and the people were miserable. The storm of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising swept across the country. Mei Kai recruited people in the Tailing area, expanded the team, played soldiers, and moved the camera. There is a righteous man named Gengsheng in the local area, and the brothers have thousands of people who are kings of the mountain, admiring the name of Mei Kai, and are willing to lead the people to belong. Mei Kai was overjoyed, worshiped the Gengsheng brothers as the deputy generals, and guarded the two mountains of Tailing respectively, and the descendants called these two mountains Da Gengling and Xiao Gengling respectively. The strong men in the Lingnan region have thrown themselves into Mei Kai's subordinates, and Mei Kai's momentum is growing stronger and stronger. Mei Hong's group of Vietnamese people recuperated in Tailing, worked hard to start a business, trained troops with grain, and dominated the party. The Wuyue culture and production technology they brought have played a positive role in the development of Lingnan.

With the development of the anti-Qin situation, Mei Kai also raised the banner of rebellion against Qin. After Mei Kai became the chief of 100 Yue, he issued a conscription order, and each household produced a strong man, who was a citizen in peacetime and a team in wartime. Mei Kai decided to lead his troops to Fanyi to defect to his fellow villager Wu Rui. Before leaving, he left his subordinate general, Yu Sheng's brothers, to garrison Tailing. When Wu Rui heard the news, he was overjoyed, and went out of the city ten miles to greet him, and immediately appointed him as a general to train the sergeants with Yingbu. Mei Li urged Wu Rui to help the princes defeat Qin. Wu Rui immediately sent Mei Kai to lead the Baiyue soldiers to Nanyang and join forces with Pei Gong Liu Bang.

Mei Kai's exploits in breaking the Qin Dynasty are indelible. At that time, the world was full of heroes, and there were more than 100,000 generals who broke Qin, and after breaking Qin, in addition to the eighteen kings, only Mei Kai was named 100,000 marquis by Xiang Yu.

Soon Chu and Han fought, and Mei Li followed Wu Rui to Liu Bang's side, and was named a general by Liu Bang, leading troops to attack Wuguan. Mei Kai took the lead, risked the arrows and stones, and fought hard. The Wuguan guard was not expected to be an opponent, so he abandoned the city and fled overnight. Later, Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang, who unified the world and named Wu Rui as the king of Changsha. The following year, Mei Kai was named "Taihou" and "Zhuyi south of Shitai".

The south of Taiwan is the south of Tailing. In fact, at that time, the south of Tailing was already occupied by Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue. Therefore, Luo Yin in the Tang Dynasty had a poem: "One hundred thousand plums are empty of land, and three points of Sun Ce are barren hills." Because there was no territory, Mei Kai led the people to move west to Meishan, Anhua, Changsha County, King Wu Rui, Changsha.

Mei Kai was ordered to conquer the South Yue Kingdom, and died on the battlefield due to an ambush in China, and his body was buried in Meiling. In order to commemorate Mei Hong, the Yue people built the "General Mei" shrine at the foot of Meiling Mountain, and renamed Tailing as Meiling. The two passes that Mei Kai sent troops to defend were called "Damei Pass" and "Xiao Mei Pass" respectively. The people of Meihong are still scattered in the Meiling area to multiply, prosper the economy and spread civilization with diligence and wisdom.

During the long journey of his life, everywhere he went, the local people admired his name, and remembered his name in the cities and mountains and rivers, and coexisted with it. The names of Meicheng (Meiqiangcheng), Meishan (Meiling), Meishui (Meigang, Meixi), and Meixiang (Meicun) are scattered in Anhui, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan

Chen Xuan, the general of Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty during the Qin and Han dynasties.

At the beginning, Han Xin, the king of Han, rebelled and fled into the Xiongnu, Han Gaozu went to Pingcheng and returned, named Chen Feng as a liehou, and led the border troops of Zhao and Daiguo as the prime minister of Zhao, and the army guarding the frontier in this area was under his jurisdiction.

Chen Feng went to Beijing to meet Liu Bang. Because he was Han Shin's subordinate in the past, he also went to meet Han Shin. Han Xin introduced the secret room and said to Chen Xuan: "You can get this important task today because you have the trust of the emperor, but Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, if one person accuses you of rebellion, Your Majesty may not believe it, if many people accuse you of rebellion, Your Majesty will be suspicious, I am afraid that your disaster is coming." If one day you are forced to rebel, I will help you in the capital.

Zhao Xiangguo and Zhou Chang saw that Chen Xian's entourage had more than 1,000 cars, and all the official houses in Handan were full. And Chen Feng treats the guests with the etiquette of communication between the common people, and is always humble and respectful, and treats others with condescension. When Chen Feng returned to Daiguo, Zhou Chang asked to go to Beijing to see him. After meeting Liu Bang, he told all the things such as Chen Xian's large number of guests, his sole military power outside for several years, and the fear that there would be changes.

Liu Bang ordered someone to investigate the violations of law and discipline in terms of property and other aspects of Chen Xuan's guests, and many of these things implicated Chen Xuan. Chen Feng was very frightened, and secretly sent guests to Wang Huang and Manqiuchen to communicate the news.

Liu Bang's father, Liu Taigong, died, and Liu Bang sent someone to summon Chen Feng to Beijing, but Chen Feng said that he was seriously ill. In September, he rebelled with Wang Huang and others, established himself as the acting king, and plundered Zhao and Dai.

After Liu Bang heard about it, he pardoned all the officials of Zhao and Dai who were involved in Chen Feng and plundered. Liu Bang went in person, and after arriving in Handan, he said happily: "Chen Feng does not occupy Zhangshui in the south, but guards Handan in the north, so it can be seen that he will not do anything." Zhao Xiangguo asked for the beheading of the county guards and county lieutenants of Changshan, saying: "There are a total of twenty-five cities in Changshan, and Chen Feng rebelled and lost twenty of them. Han Gaozu asked, "Did the county guard and the county lieutenant rebel?" Zhao Xiangguo replied: "There is no rebellion." Han Gaozu said: "This is because of the lack of strength. "They were pardoned, and their duties as guards and lieutenants were restored.

During this period, Han Xin did not follow Liu Bang on the grounds of illness, and he was also suspected of responding to Chen Xuan's measures in Beijing, and was secretly told by his subordinates that he was killed in Changle Palace by Empress Lu and Xiao He, and wiped out the three clans.

The Han army attacked and killed Chen Xuan's generals Hou Chang and Wang Huang under Qu Rebellion City, and defeated Chen Xuan's general Zhang Chun in Liaocheng, beheading more than 10,000 people. Taiwei Zhou Bo marched to pacify Taiyuan and Dai County. In December, Han Gaozu personally led an army to attack Dongyuan, but failed to overcome it, and the rebel soldiers insulted Liu Bang; Soon Dongyuan surrendered, and all the soldiers who scolded Han Gaozu were beheaded, and the other soldiers who did not scold were sentenced to death and tattooed on their foreheads. The name of Dongyuan is really determined. All of Huang and Manchuchen's subordinates who were offered bounties were captured alive, so Chen's army was completely defeated.

In the winter of the twelfth year of Han Gaozu, Fan Xu's soldiers chased him to Lingqiu and beheaded Chen Xuan.

According to what Bao Hong learned from the system, although these two guys are said to be generals in the Chu and Han dynasties, they are not very bullish, and the attributes in the database are about eighty to ninety forces.

But according to this force, it should not be enough for Jia Xu to say that only a few people can compete with such a thing.

Not to mention anything else, the strength of several generals of the Xiliang Army will definitely not be lower than ninety, let alone Zhang Xiu.

Then there is only one explanation, that is, these two guys have been strengthened by Romance, and this will be the case.

However, I don't care very much about this Bao Hong, Yingbu doesn't know if there is 100 force, but except for the two Yingbu, no matter how powerful they are, they won't surpass Zhou Wen and them too much, after all, relatively speaking, Zhou Wen's performance in romance and history are above these two people.

But having said that, Huang Zhong is almost equal to Li Qi, and although the Xiliang Army is very fierce, it seems to be lacking in the performance of romance, but I don't know the specific strength.

"In that case, what do you mean when you say that the credit is there?" Bao Hong continued to ask.

"Doesn't the general know that the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. After all, the rebels are not fully prepared to fight, and they are far worse than us in the hoarding of grain and grass! Jia Xu said with a smile, "Surviving a cold winter has consumed a lot of grain and grass resources, how can it continue for a long time?" ”

"What's more, the common people who are vassals are indeed difficult to make ends meet, so they have to rebel. However, in the spring ploughing season, the area they conquered was a large area of land, would these vassal rebels see the land empty and not cultivate, and confront us here? Jia Xu said, "No matter what decision the Yellow Turban Army makes, it will inevitably be people's hearts fluctuating, and it will collapse at the first touch." ”

Bao Hong muttered, "Indeed, if you purely look at the level of Yingbu and others' governance of the vassal states, there is nothing to praise it. But to say that you can't solve even these basic things, you look down on them too much, right? ”

What's more, Bao Hong muttered to himself, he remembered that Shen Buxin and the like had already messed in and out of Han Wangxin's army, although he didn't know if these guys would make a move, thinking that with their abilities, even if they didn't reveal their identities, they could solve this matter with a little mention.

The think tank under Bao Hong's command has discussed the matter of spring ploughing many times, and does not think that this is a flaw in the Yellow Turban Army, and even thinks that this will be a critical moment that will lead to the Yellow Turban Army gathering people's hearts.

You must know that the common people have been on the land all their lives, and it can be said that the people don't care about anything, they just care about this.

At this time, whoever gives them land to cultivate, they will recognize. Why were the early peasant uprisings in full swing and out of control?

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than letting the small peasants turn over and become landlords. If they don't support this righteous army, do they support the orthodoxy of your court? And then go ahead and go to rent the landlord's land?

Although everyone knows that such behavior is just an unrealistic fantasy idealism to solve the temporary itch, and it can even be said to quench thirst, it is the only means to explode troops in the early stage.

Among them, the most famous of them is the Tianmu system of the Celestial Dynasty, which formed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in full swing, which can be seen.

The "Heavenly Dynasty Farmland System" is centered on solving the peasant land problem, and it involves economic, political, military, cultural, educational, and social reforms.

It divides the land into nine classes, with good and bad evenly matched. It is then divided equally among the population on a household basis, regardless of gender. Full portions for those over 16 years old and half portions for those under 15 years old.

It also draws a blueprint for a new type of society, which is based on 25 units at the grassroots level, called "two". Two "two", set up "two Sima" to preside. There is one "Wu Chief" for every 5 families. Each family has one person as a soldier, "if there is a policeman, the leader will be a soldier, kill the enemy and catch thieves, and if there is nothing to do, the leader will supervise him as a farmer." "Each grass-roots unit shall establish a "state treasury", and "when the harvest comes, the two commanders shall return to the state treasury except for the food of each of their 25 families, and the rest shall be returned to the state treasury, as shall all wheat, beans, ramie, cloth, chickens, dogs, and money." In the event of weddings, funerals, and childbirth, each family shall collect it from the "state treasury" according to the prescribed expenses; Widows, widows, lonely, disabled, and other people who are incapacitated for work are also supported by the "treasury" expenses. In addition to farming, peasants also have to use their spare time to raise pigs, chickens, and silkworms, and engage in household sideline work and handicraft production, such as weaving, sewing clothes, making pottery, woodwork, and stone making.

The anti-feudal spirit in the "Heavenly Dynasty System of Fields and Mu" inspired millions of peasants to struggle for the overthrow of the feudal land system. Everywhere the Taiping army went, there were scenes of struggle in which the property of the landlords and bureaucrats was confiscated, the land deeds and bonds were burned, and the landlords were restricted from collecting rents. Many landlords sighed and said: The harvest "has no share in me"; In some areas, landlords rent "no grains" throughout the year. In some areas, the landlords' land was divided, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime issued it to the landlords. In addition, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom confiscated the land occupied by some temples and ancestral halls, public land, and the land of fugitive landlords, and distributed it to landless peasants for cultivation. All of the above has satisfied the economic and political demands of the peasant masses to a certain extent. In this way, the burden on the peasants has been lightened and their enthusiasm for production has been brought into play. In some areas, there has been a prosperous scene of "bumper grain harvest" and "agricultural security".

However, the abolition of private ownership on the basis of a small-scale peasant economy combining individual labour, decentralized management, agriculture and handicrafts, and the absolute equal distribution of all property was a utopian dream, which, together with years of war, could not have been achieved under the historical conditions of the time. Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom implemented a more practical method of "paying grain and paying taxes as before" in Jiangxi, Anhui, and other places.

In terms of the political system, the township official system is implemented. In the area of the Taiping Army, the local feudal regimes at all levels were destroyed and the revolutionary power of the peasants was established. All responsible persons at or above the county level are generally held by generals of the revolutionary army. Local township officials are served by poor peasants. The "Heavenly Dynasty System of Fields and Mu" stipulates that local officials are elected by the people, and "every year in the world is made to make up for the lack of officials". If a township official is corrupt or illegal, the people can report and expose it and dismiss him at any time. The establishment of local political power in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gave a powerful impetus to the development of the revolution.

The basic content of the "Heavenly Dynasty Farmland System" is based on the principle of "where the world is in the field, the people in the world cultivate together", each mu of land is divided into upper, middle, and lower three levels and nine classes according to the annual output, and then the good and bad fields are matched with each other, and the good and bad fields are evenly distributed according to the population. All men and women over the age of 16 are given an equal amount of land each, and those under the age of 15 are given half of the land. At the same time, it also put forward the method of "connecting abundance and famine" and relieving famine with abundance. (To be continued.) )
