20. Joint operation and provincial troops
Hearing this, Gao Yue hurriedly knelt down and half got up, and put his head together with Xiao Yi's head:
"This A and B judgment is true to the world, but it has not yet reached the point of life and death."
"Yi Song is now on the side of Jiezhen, holding the power of thousands of soldiers and horses, so naturally there is no need to live and die." Xiao Yi was naturally also a shrewd person, and immediately understood what Gao Yue meant.
"But it is also very important to coincide with the meeting, which determines what Brother Jing and I will gain in the future." Gao Yue remained silent.
"Yi Song just plans the world of lakes and seas, and the goods are farmed, and the foolish brother handles it single-handedly, so he doesn't need to bother." Xiao Yi arched his hand and said.
Then the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Soak the White Grass Army!" Gao Yue raised his arms and shouted.
"Baptist Qiang Xingyuan Mansion!" Xiao Yi immediately responded.
In summer and May, all counties of Xingyuan Prefecture are under the sunshine, the harvest season of winter wheat has arrived, taking advantage of such good weather, Xingyuan Yin Gaoyue quickly got down the paper, printed with bamboo paper and ink, by the counties of the wanderer riding fast horses, in the townships and villages to erect wooden ties, posted on them, warned farmers not to delay the day of cutting wheat, if the harvest is late, the rain comes, the wheat grain is not in time to harvest and be drenched, the hard work of that year has to turn into "sour bitterness".
So, first the soldiers of Shanheyan and Chiya Pass took the lead, and then the people of the whole province also mobilized, people carried sickles, wheat swords, brothers and sisters, and Weng sons-in-law and concubines in the fields lined up side by side, covering the north weir and the south hills, carrying the scorching sun, facing the fresh breeze and fragrance of the wheat waves, and cutting the "yellow clouds and wheat seas" in the high fields one by one, and piling them up outside their respective Tuen Mun or home doors, and the children and widows could also follow the bamboo baskets or calf carts that carried the wheat, picking up the broken wheat grains. Go back and get a fragrant cookcake to eat.
The soldiers in the military camp all competed to pick wheat, comparing with each other who had more strength.
The final winner was naturally Cai Fengyuan, who surpassed all the generals and soldiers, and was a well-deserved strong man.
The most unwilling to lose, of course, is Guo Zaizhen, who has always been competing with Cai Fengyuan, he is in the crowd of onlookers and cheers, carrying wheat bundles with flat poles, weighing five buckets before and after, and the total weight is exactly one stone (one stone in the Tang Dynasty is now 53 kilograms, 100 catties and above), without changing his shoulders, he walked five miles in one breath and arrived at Chiyacang - but Cai Fengyuan can pick one stone and three buckets!
Guo Zaizhen regretted defeat.
After going back, Yuwen Shajin saw that her husband's shoulders and neck were swollen and deformed, and she was distressed, so she went to Gao Yue's mansion to ask Yun Shao, Yun and her sisters for herbs to compress.
Later, although Guo Zaizhen recovered, her neck had some sequelae, and she was crooked by half a point.
After the wheat of Xingyuan Mansion was harvested and put into the warehouse, as Gao Yue was worried about, there were dark clouds floating on the Zibao Slope and Luogu Road in the north, and there were several torrential rains, but Xingyuan's wheat did not lose half a cent, and the people and soldiers all sighed that Da Yin was really like a god, and he was worthy of being the figure of Empress Zhaode's dream.
After the rain, under the weir ponds in the white water desert, the water is constantly turning, and the various dojos of Huguo Temple collect money for grinding and provide grinding for the wheat of the military and civilians. The temple's "milling money" is much cheaper than that of the wealthy families in Xingyuan, and in the end, the rich families can only reduce the price to make money from the water.
After a period of time, the army and the people worked together to level the high fields where wheat was grown, lay out water wheels, dig vertical and horizontal ridges and ditches, and introduce river water from various places for irrigation, so as to rush to plant late rice.
After everything was settled, first, the wheat was abundant, the second was Gao Yue to preside over the Xingyuan Mansion, so that Liu De's room formulated a fair and balanced rent loss law and the peace law, and the third came to the Huguo Temple of the Mingxuan monk, and also provided relief to the poor households with orphans and widows who really had no ability to help themselves: so the Xingyuan Mansion and even the prefectures under its jurisdiction were all a scene of prosperity, the people and soldiers were all full, wine and meat, waterwheel keels hung on the wall, and groups of people sang and danced, prepared for social dramas, and drunk Taiping.
In the middle of summer, in the wheat straw piles all over the Red Cliff Pass, in a burst of agitated drums, the drama of "shooting zongzi" by the military and civilians of Xingyuan Mansion began.
In the previous Dragon Boat Festival, the Hanchuan under the city of Fucheng has held a "race" competition, Gao Yue introduced the custom of Chu in the south, and also ordered the self-made light boat in the house, planted the red flag, set up three hundred pieces of color, in the cheers of the crowd, several light boats like lightning, racing to the destination, the so-called destination is the Hanchuan transfer yard building near the water, which carries a bamboo pole on it, and hangs a ribbon on it.
In the thunderous shouts of the people, the light boat that rushed to the destination first, the first to raise the oars, and triumphantly picked up the ribbons, and those who arrived later could only sigh in disappointment.
And at this time, there is another shot of zongzi:
On the open ground under the Red Cliff Pass, the "earth river" that stretches a hundred steps is erected, and the buttress mark is set up every other section, and the plate is placed on the buttress, and the small corn dumplings are placed on the plate, and then the soldiers make horn bows, and the women make small bows, and compete to shoot arrows, in order to shoot the dumplings.
But how can this be so easy to shoot? The dumplings are not only small, but also slippery, so all kinds of off-target, causing people to laugh.
In the end, even the tall Yin of the purple gold fish bag also had fun with the army and the people, and his wife Cui Yunshao, his wife and sister Cui Yunhe, and led the generals and subordinates in the military palace and their families to shoot rice dumplings in the sound of drums.
The winner of the "military team" was Yuwen broken gold, she finally made up for her husband's resentment when he picked wheat, opened a bow with fifteen arrows, and won four dumplings, which won the first place.
But the military team is not enough to see in front of Ming Huaiyi, a group of soldiers from the city-Ming Huaiyi opened a bow with fifteen arrows, and nine were hit; Ming Huaiyi's younger sister-in-law, of course, is also his own current concubine, and when she opened a bow with fifteen arrows, she was also hit by seven.
This lively and boiling scene stunned the 1,500 recruits who had been recruited along the Han River.
Most of this group of recruits were from Shannandong and Jingnan, and there were also a small number of Qianzhong Prefecture.
After they were settled in the barracks, paid for their food rations and clothes, and after shooting rice dumplings, together with the veterans of the White Grass Army, gathered under the red cliff under the sun.
Those who are far away and cannot hear clearly must also stand in place and wait until they return to the camp and then be clearly conveyed by their superiors.
What Gao Yue said was the reform of the military system of the Baicao Army, "Changing the Guanjian Tutuan into a General Bingtian (Shooting) Soldier and a Joint Provincial Soldier".
Gao Yue first said that my Xingyuan army has 20,000 soldiers (the actual 18,000, the reason will not be repeated), and now the division between the official health and the Tutuan is abolished, and it is changed to 8,000 soldiers and 12,000 archers.
Then there were the provincial soldiers, Gao Yue said that the entire Baicao Army and the original state regiments (unity), those who were over 50 years old, who were physically weak, and those who were injured or sick, were all divided from the military cantonment and granted their fields as Yongye, and from then on they were "exempted from military service for the people", and the part of the soldiers that was lost by this was filled by the new recruitment.
A joint camp and a provincial soldier have already brought a great shock to the entire Xingyuan army.
But Gao Yue's next description of the new battalion method, the innovation is even greater!
