Linzhou, Yincheng County, Tiantai Mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In a pavilion on the top of the mountain, a young scholar dressed in a shirt and wearing a scarf is standing on the railing overlooking.

Overlooking from the top of Tiantai Mountain, I saw that Tiantai Mountain is strange and dangerous, the mountain peak winds forward from north to south, like a sword abruptly inserted into the two major rivers of the Yellow River and the Guye River, the momentum is like a giant dragon entering the sea, forming a magnificent spectacle of a mountain dividing two waters. On the east side is the Yellow River and Kuching with huge waves, and on the west side is the Guye River and the ancient Qin land held hostage by the deep valley.

The top of the mountain overlooks the rooftop at a glance. You can not only have a glimpse of the scenery of the Qin and Jin Dynasties where "the mountains follow the plains", but also appreciate the majestic momentum of the "Yellow River flowing into the sea".

Looking eastward, the peaks of Luliang Mountain are green, the loess hills and ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the surging Yellow River is rushing away; Overlooking to the west, the water of the Kuye River roars into the Yellow River, the landform of the soil and rocky mountainous areas along the Yellow River and the loess hills and ravines landform, the tidal flat landform of the Yellow River and the floodplain landform of the Kuye River show their own characteristics, and the lush forests and green trees along the two rivers are shaded, which is beautiful. In this situation, the mountains and rivers are in one, reflecting each other, which is really majestic and magnificent.

?“‘ One mountain views Qin and Jin, and the second water locks the smoke', when the real name is well deserved......" The young scholar who was looking at the railing couldn't help but sigh.

This young scholar is none other than Zhong Hao. The breeze blew, and the two streamers of the free scarf behind Zhong Hao's head flew in the wind, which seemed to have a bit of the demeanor of a beautiful son. It has been almost two years since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhong Hao's figure is now quite long, and with regular exercise on weekdays, Zhong Hao is now a healthy young man.

"yes, it's a great place! Zhong Jiyi, do we really want to train troops in Tuntian here for a long time? ”

"How can you live up to such a good place! Also, Brother Cui must not be called so raw, just call Junior Brother Wenxuan. ”

"Then how can it be done, respect and order, how can it be arbitrarily transgressed!" The person who spoke to Zhong Hao was Cui Feng.

Although Cui Feng has the name of a township soldier regiment training envoy in the unloading stone shed, in fact, it is just to call it good, in fact, he is a militia captain, no grade and no rank, and the Great Song Dynasty does not have the rank of military attache at this level. In fact, in the Great Song Dynasty, even the state regiment training envoy was only a false title. The regimental training envoys of the states are only the parasitic officials of the military ministers, with no fixed personnel, no duties, and basically not stationed in the state.

Cui Feng is a martial artist, unwilling to waste the years, heard that Zhong Hao was coming to Hedong, so he begged Cui Ye to tell Zhong Hao that he wanted to come to Hedong with him, and wanted to be born with his martial arts.

Zhong Hao was worried that it was a long way from Qingzhou to Hedong, and if he wanted to do something after coming to Hedong, he didn't have the right manpower to call him, and when he heard that Cui Feng was going to follow him to Hedong, he was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

Cui Feng was accompanied by Wang San and Hou Quan, both of whom were also involved in some arts, Zhong Hao naturally had no opinion, and was very glad that they could come. Wang San's courage in front of the stone unloading shed was very impressive to Zhong Hao with one person and one sword, and Hou Quan was the one who crossed out from the stone unloading ridge to deliver the letter that time, and he also had some extraordinary skills.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but shake his head after listening to Cui Feng's words, but he didn't bother with the question of the names of the two.

……

In the sting season, the spring thunder sounds, and everything grows!

In mid-spring February, after the sting, the stinging insects wake up, the weather becomes warmer, there is gradually spring thunder, and the northern region enters the spring ploughing season.

Zhong Hao and Cui Feng, who had had enough of enjoying the wonders of Tiantai Mountain, came down from Tiantai Mountain and came to the foot of the north of Tiantai Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a gentle and spacious slope of earth, the soil is fresh and yellow. The hillside was littered with dilapidated tents, naturally dividing the camp into five different sections.

This camp is the camp that Zhong Hao led the Pingxi Army to Tuntian on the bank of the Guye River, and has just set up a camp. As for the sergeants of the Pingxi Army, they were ploughing the land on the banks of the Kuye River in the distance, preparing to sow seeds, and the camp was full of women, children and children.

The military horn of the Pingxi Army sounds very popular, but it is just a miserable army. This Xiang army was the manpower sent by Fu Bi to Zhong Hao to come to Tuntian, and of course there were follow-up plans for training troops and recruiting the Qiang and Tibetan troops.

The river is full of water and the land is fertile, which is a good place for Tuntian. Now Zhong Hao is in the capacity of Hedong's pacification envoy Gou Jiyi, and he has the right to know about the military training in the cave Yehe Tuntian.

This Quanzhi Cave Yehe Tuntian military training was a temporary dispatch, not a regular dispatch. This kind of temporary dispatch can be arranged by the Hedong Economic and Pacification Envoys. Most of the economic and strategic pacification envoys in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty were fictitious and had no actual power to manage the military and government, but the economic and strategic pacification envoys on the edge were different, and they still had a lot of power.

It is still possible to arrange a temporary dispatch according to his own wishes.

Most of the Xiang army of the Great Song Dynasty came from prisoners and displaced people, and in the eyes of the Great Song scholars, they had no status, and could even be regarded as a burden. Most of the Xiang army of the Great Song Dynasty had a very miserable life, and the Xiang army in the northwest frontier had an even worse life. A box army basically makes very little noise, and the imperial court generally gives a garrison and lets them find their own way to plan, which is basically equivalent to fending for themselves. The military salaries, grains and grass given by the imperial court are basically not counted on.

The original station of the Pingxi Army was originally in Fengzhou. In the first year of Qingli, after the Battle of Haoshuichuan, Li Yuanhao took advantage of the situation and ordered the Qi army and horses to launch the Battle of Linfufeng, which attacked the three states outside the Great Song River, in a vain attempt to seize the three bridgeheads located west of the Yellow River in the Great Song Dynasty.

In this battle, although Linzhou and Fuzhou were held, the city of Fengzhou was occupied, and all the fortresses in Fengzhou were breached. In that battle, most of the Pingxi Army was killed and wounded, and the rest were withdrawn to the Volcano Army east of the Yellow River (an administrative division army, with jurisdiction over Huoshan County, the same as Xiazhou) temporarily stationed. Later, although Li Yuanhao withdrew his troops, he destroyed Fengzhou City and various fortresses, so many Fengzhou Xiang troops were temporarily stationed in Hedong. Living in a foreign country is even more miserable.

Recently, the imperial court has a discussion of placing Fengzhou in the land of Luobo River in Fuzhou, and when Fu Bi read the relevant documents of Fengzhou, he found that there were so many Xiang troops who were originally stationed in Fengzhou, and they were living in Hedong. It happened that Zhong Hao was training troops in Tuntian and needed manpower, so he transferred the Pingxi Army. If the situation goes well, we can gain a foothold here, and then we can transfer other armies over later.

……

Zhong Hao and Cui Feng wandered to the bank of the Kuye River.

"Zhong Jiyi, this land has been almost ploughed, what are we going to sow?" Zheng Wentao, the capital of the Pingxi Army, saw Zhong Hao and Cui Feng coming, and stepped forward to pray. The Pingxi Army was so poor that they couldn't eat, and there were definitely no food seeds, and they moved here from the Volcano Army, basically only bringing more than a thousand mouths.

The Pingxi Army lived in Hedong, the hardship was hopeless, the relationship between the commander and the deputy commander was transferred, and the court didn't know whether it was forgotten, or no one wanted to come, anyway, the Pingxi Army commander and the deputy commander had been vacant, and it had always been Du Yu waiting for Zheng Wentao to temporarily command the Pingxi Army.

Of course, now that the Pingxi Army is in command of this errand, except for the order to organize the transportation of the forbidden army's baggage, the rest is to help his subordinates find food ruts, and there is basically nothing else. The Pingxi Army does not want to be fed, it just wants not to be starved to death, but in the past few years, it has become more and more difficult to accomplish this goal. When the Pingxi Army first came to Tiantai Mountain, most of the soldiers were skinny and their faces were like vegetables. If it weren't for the good food and drink that would have been raised for half a month, I'm afraid there would be few people who could work in the field.

"Rest assured, the seeds will arrive in a few days. Everyone has been tired lately, Brother Zheng, you tell everyone, kill a few pigs tonight to open meat for everyone! ”

"Xia Guan can not be Zhong Jiyi to call his brother, Zhong Ji should call me Lao Zheng, which is to give Xia Guan face!" Immediately, Zheng Wentao saluted Zhong Hao and said: "Then I will thank Zhong Jiyi for the brothers, Zhong Jiyi treats the brothers is really interesting, and in the future, Zhong Jiyi will never frown." The lower officials are also willing to attach Zhong Ji Yi to the tail, Zhong Ji Yi but has orders, my old Zheng Wan will not give up! ”

Although Zheng Duyu Hou is the third-in-command of the Pingxi Army and temporarily takes the position of the number one, the officer rank of the Xiang Army is very low, and his rank is only borrowed from the third class of the ninth grade, Chengxinlang. is of the same grade, and the military attache is three points lower in front of the civil officials, not to mention that Zhong Hao's civil official undertaker is two levels higher than him. Moreover, Zhong Hao also has Shuaisi's Guan Gou Ji Yi Text, which is naturally to appease the adult's personal confidants.

Although Zheng Wentao is a vulgar martial artist, he is definitely not stupid, Pingxi Jun's grandmother is not close, and his uncle does not love it, so he can be transferred to follow Zhong Jiyi to train in Tuntian, although he doesn't know what the future prospects are, but it is better than being trapped in Hedong. It is because he has made up his mind to pay attention, listen to Zhong Hao's instructions in everything, and drive for him, maybe he can follow Zhong Hao in the future. Yes, Zheng Wentao respects Zhong Hao very much, and he is the main one in everything.

Zheng Wentao went to the bank of the Guye River to announce the good news of the meat in the evening, and cheered for a while.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but shake his head, a meal of pork can be happy like this, it seems that this Pingxi Army is really bitter enough.

……

At dinner, Zhong Hao announced that after spring planting, he would build a fortress here.

The soldiers of the Pingxi Army are also looking forward to settling down here. In any case, there is finally a place to eat, and there is no need to stay in another country, relying on others for relief.

The Pingxi Army was a service battalion, and during the war, it generally did the logistics work of transporting baggage, building bridges and paving roads. Many of the Northwest Xiang Army were composed of prisoners and prisoners, but most of the Pingxi Army was composed of recruited refugees. The homeless people are relatively easier to control than the prisoners, which is one of the reasons why Fu Bi preferred the Pingxi Army to Zhong Hao to implement the Tuntian training.

The Pingxi Army is divided into five battalions, front, rear, left, right, and center, of which most of the left and right battalions are craftsmen before joining the army, and most of the craftsmen such as building bridges and paving roads during the Pingxi Army during the war are responsible for them, and the remaining three battalions are responsible for contribution. The left and right battalions were responsible for the work of the craftsmen, and the other three battalions were responsible for the work of the master.

The Great Song Infantry Army was established, and the first army was divided into five battalions, that is, five commanders, one infantry army commanded 500 people, and one army was full of 2,500 people. But after Zhong Hao compared the roster of the Pingxi Army, the Pingxi Army actually had less than fifty percent of the soldiers, and most of the rest were either killed in battle or fled. With these 1,000 men to build a fortress, it is obvious that there is a shortage of manpower.

The big one of the village is 900 steps around, and the small one is 500 steps; The big one of the fort is 200 steps, and the small one is 100 steps. Zhong Hao naturally planned to build a fortress here, yesterday he and Cui Feng inspected and measured a suitable terrain for building a fortress at the foot of the rooftop, about 600 steps in radius, which can be regarded as a medium-sized walled city.

Although there was a "Qingli Peace Conference" between the Song and Xia, the small-scale wars on the border of the Northern Song and Northern Song and Xia Dynasty in the Western and Northern Song dynasties were never broken.

The two places of Linfu on Hedong Road, located in Hexi, are the main targets of the Shenyong Military Division of the Left Wing of Xixia.

There was Jingqiang Village in the north of Tiantai Mountain for more than ten miles, but it was broken by a sweep of the Left Wing Divine Warrior Division of Western Xia a few years ago, and it has never been rebuilt.

The way to defend and resist the attack of the Western Xia in the northwest is actually mainly to build a fortress, according to the defense policy of the city, after all, in the field war, the Great Song Dynasty has been beaten by the Western Xia in recent years.

It happened that Jingqiang Village had not been rebuilt in recent years, and Fu Bi gave the name of Jingqiang Village to the Pingxi Army and asked them to choose a place to rebuild.

Don't underestimate a fortress, the construction of a fortress consumes considerable manpower and material resources, and there are few poor people in the northwest, it is difficult to provide for themselves, and most of them have to rely on the supply of the interior. Therefore, the imperial court was very cautious about building fortresses.

To build a new fortress, you need to choose a place to plan, and then ask the court for approval before it can be built, after all, the court will have to provide for it in the future. Moreover, after the construction is completed, it is necessary to report to the imperial court to give the name, which shows the importance and prudence of the imperial court to the construction of the fortress.

Relatively speaking, it is much easier to rebuild a fortress and win it down from the imperial court.

However, although Fu Bi gave Zhong Hao the name of rebuilding Jingqiang Village, he clearly told him that there were no manpower and materials, and it was up to Zhong Hao to solve it himself.

Zhong Hao is also very helpless about this, he only gives an empty name, there is no real thing, he is too bad in the future!

However, this village still needs to be repaired.

Zhong Hao's site for the rebuilding of Jingqiang Village is at the foot of the north of Tiantai Mountain, although it is behind Linzhou, but it is only from the north.

In fact, Tiantai Mountain is only more than 80 miles away from the ancient Great Wall on the border of Song and Xia in the west, and the Mituo Cave, the station of the Shenyong Army Division of the Left Wing of the Western Xia, is actually only 150 miles, and the Western Xia cavalry can reach it overnight. If the village is not repaired, Zhong Hao, the Pingxi army with no combat effectiveness, can only wait to be captured as a slave by the captured army of the Divine Warrior Division of the Left Chamber.

Zhong Hao felt that only by building a strong fortress could he be a little safer, this place was too dangerous. When the spring planting is finished, we must build a village immediately.

Fortunately, it is estimated that the Western Xia side is also busy with spring planting, and it will not be disturbed for the time being. In the past, Zhong Hao always thought that the party people would only graze, and after understanding, he knew that the party people actually had a high degree of sinicization, not only herding, but also farming.

In the upper reaches of the Guye River, the cultivated land invaded by the Divine Warrior Division of the Left Wing was already in front of Linzhou City. The party members also know the importance of cultivated land, and they have been desperately seizing cultivated land on the border over the years.

Zhong Hao felt that his so-called strategy of using land and grain to attract the Qiang and Tibetan tribes to join him was much more difficult than he had thought before, but he didn't expect that the party members also liked farming.

Zhong Hao thinks that potatoes and sweet potatoes must be bred as soon as possible, form a scale as soon as possible, and attract them with high yields, otherwise the strategy of dividing their fields to attract the Qiang and Tibetan tribes will be difficult to work.

Of course, the strategy of recruiting Hengshan Shengqiang will have to wait for a while, and he can slowly manage and plan.

In Zhong Hao's vision, it will take two years to operate Jingqiang Village, and after Jingqiang Village is stable, he will build a fortress and Tuntian in the lower reaches of Dahengshui in the west. The fortress of the Great Hengshui is used as a base to attract and collect the Hengshan Tribe.

After the Great Song Dynasty Shenzong, he implemented the strategic policy of "building a city to force a city, moving the village to attack the village", and used the method of building one, consolidating one, and taking the camp step by step, and built a large number of fortresses, and then forced the strategy of Western Xia to retreat and achieved great success.

Since Zhong Hao put forward this strategy in advance, and he Taishan wants to promote it in advance, he still has to do his best.

Of course, in Zhong Hao's heart, he was unwilling to go to Dahengshui to build a fortress in person and implement the strategy of attracting Hengshan and Tibet. After all, it was too close to Dexixia, and the danger was too great. At that time, you have to let your Lord Taishan send a more powerful character, and you will be here in Jingqiang Village, and you will do a good job in logistics and support.

Of course, in any case, the restoration of Jingqiang Village still has to be carried out.

Zhong Hao wants to take the time to go to Yincheng County recently to see if he can recruit some people there, of course, by the way, he also has to pay a visit to the magistrate of Yincheng County, after all, he will bring people to mix with his land in the future, and he will inevitably have to deal with him often, and he still has to have a good relationship with this local parent official.
