(Girls' Literature) Steel, Railroad. Looking at the endless stream of man-powered chariots and four-wheeled carriages that appear from time to time, Xiong Jing hopes that the horse-drawn railway will appear in this high mountain and dense forest in the valley. This seems to have become his desperate hope, but he doesn't know when it will come true.

"Meet the King!" There is a Chu army camp under the interception army, which is the sleeping master who broke the formation last time. General Shen Yinxi had long known that the king was coming, so he was waiting outside the camp. In addition to him, there is also a noble son with a cavalry sword.

"Excuse me!" Seeing Shen Yinxi, it was just that, seeing those children of the Qing clan who were listed in the front row for the rest of their lives, Xiong Jing couldn't help but have a headache, "The great engineer Ou Chou has been rescued by Zhao Envoy, and the knife you are waiting for will be given next year." ”

"Tell the king, I'm not in a hurry." Everyone has been notified of this matter a long time ago, but I didn't expect the king to still remember it.

"Good." It's not about debt collection. Xiong Jing nodded slowly, and remembered another important event in his heart: the reward of the Battle of Qingshui.

Regardless of the war dead, including the soldiers who died in the previous battle in Jiangyi, they were given a military flag to wrap their bodies; Under Xiong Jing's proposal, the state of Chu will open a mountain and sun near the Yingdu as a military tomb, and the soldiers of the dead country will be buried in the military tomb in the future.

And for those who are not dead, Xiang Yan, these generals are to be rewarded, and the sons of the nobles, Gongjia, and the sanitation of the battle of Yingdu who are listed in the front row of the battle, these people must be treated exceptionally. The medal has been trial-produced before, but in addition to the medal gold silk, Xiong Jing has been thinking about how to reward these honorary people who are qualified to give swords (that is, honorary people).

His idea was to give food. That is, in addition to giving swords and medals, each honorary person will be given a certain number of food households in his county and city. Eaters are farmers, and they have to pay land rent, oral tax, household tax, military tax, and so on every year. In fact, the food giver is to put a number of peasant households under the honorable man, and the peasants provide for the honorable soldier on weekdays, and the honorable soldier teaches the peasants the art of battle formation, and in wartime, the honorable soldier leads the team to fight.

A normal peasant cultivates 100 mu (small mu) of cultivated land per household, and one mu produces 1.5 stone of grain, 100 mu is 150 stone, and the field rent is 15 stone. If the reward is stingy, and each honorary soldier is given 36 koku (wartime fighting food), then the land rent of three peasant households can support one honorary soldier, but if the land rent of each household is not given to the honorable man, but one or two koku per household, and the rest is still handed over to the county, then there are dozens of peasant households under the jurisdiction of the honorable man.

The smallest unit of spear defense is 15x15, with a total of 225 men, including 200 spearmen and 25 short spearmen; The attack was formed into a large phalanx 64 lines wide and 50 lines deep. The phalanx is not a square formation, the queue is not a horizontal formation but a column, and a team of 50 people should be trained diligently in normal times, so the number of households under the jurisdiction of each honorary soldier should be between 50 and 100 households.

Feng Yushi is local, and he uses it as a point to cover one side, and the Chu army will definitely be different in a few years. It's just that the state of Chu is not only the state of Chu of the king of Chu, but also the state of Chu of many nobles, county yin, and feudal monarchs. The peasant households in the hands of the county Yin and Yi Yin were rashly placed under the jurisdiction of Yushi, and when all the peasant households in the county were completed, the county government and the Yi government could be revoked.

Xiong Jing did not intend to mention such a reward involving political change for the time being, he had to first repeatedly test the spear array, at the same time consider the pros and cons of such a reward, and explore the opinions of all parties before finally deciding how to deal with it. But if the approach is effective, then even if the county Yin and Yi Yin oppose it, it must be tried.

Xiong Jing and his entourage did not plan to camp at the mouth of the valley, so the master of Gao Bei moved into the valley. The Wuli River in the valley is bubbling, the roads along the river are muddy, and the chariots carrying grain are very difficult. Xiong Jing looked at it and suddenly asked, "Why do you want two wheels?" ”

The two wheels of the chariot have been customized, and the king suddenly asked why the two wheels, and the people really don't know how to answer. The new Zuo Shi is the son of Candle Yuan, young, although he can't ride a horse, but he is not as hard as the right Shi. He said: "Your lord, it is not feasible to use a chariot without two wheels. ”

"A single round is fine." Xiong Jing couldn't help but think of the wheelbarrow, which can also hold ten stones of grain. "Make a note of the wheelbarrow and remind me when you return to Yingdu."

Only Xiong Jing can do it if he uses the left and right histories as secretaries, and other monarchs don't like historians. Because every time he transgressed the etiquette, the historian would record and chant loudly to admonish the king.

"The minister has written it down." Candle Yong replied immediately.

Xiong Jing and his entourage entered the valley, and the other side of the valley was accompanied by the county lieutenant Xin Wu, and Changping Jun Xiong Qi was looking at the Chu army in the horse valley from afar. After entering Chu to negotiate peace, he originally planned to enter Chu from Jiyi and negotiate peace with Chu. But when he arrived in Wancheng, he heard that the Chu army was attacking on a large scale, and it seemed to attack Biyang, so he came over to see what was going on while being curious.

When the car is suspended, the sun shines directly into the valley from the west, and the military flags and strong camps in the valley are numerous. It's just that five hundred steps are too far apart, and Changping Jun can't see what the Chu army is doing at all. He asked, "Do the Jing people want to come out of the valley?" ”

"Tell the prime minister, the end will not know." Lü Buwei resigned, and although Changpingjun's position has not changed, he is already above 10,000 people under one person. Xin Wu didn't dare to slack off at all, and personally accompanied him to Magu Gukou.

"What does Captain Bai think?" Changpingjun asked Bai Lin again. When the Chu army attacked, his unit was fortunately outside the valley, otherwise he would not have been a lieutenant a long time ago.

"Tell the prime minister, the last general thinks that the Chu people don't want to attack me Biyang." Ignoring Xin Wu's gaze, Bai Lin tried his best to leave some impression in the prime minister's heart. In the Qin army, although military merit is everything, it may not be possible to make meritorious service depending on the opportunity and the relationship with the ministers.

"Why?" Changping Jun looked at him, and he also hoped that the Chu army would not attack again, otherwise it would be unfavorable to Yihe.

"Magu is more than 200 miles away from Chengyang, and this road is monorail, and it is difficult to transport. The scouts reported that the Jing people were transported by chariots. There are only tens of thousands of soldiers in the valley, and tens of thousands of soldiers are so difficult, and it will be difficult for an army of 100,000 to get out of this valley. If you go out of the valley, our cavalry can also cut off its way back, and the Jing people will be defeated when they run out of food. Bai Lin said all his thoughts at the moment. However, if the Jing people go out of the valley regardless of the transport, our army should order all counties to clear the wilderness, and Biyang Zhouji should also be transported away and burned. If the Jing people have no food for me, it will be difficult to continue. ”

"Very good." Changping Jun nodded again and again when he heard this, but he asked again: "In that case, why did the Jing people take this valley?" ”

"Jing general Xiang Yanshan attacked far away, and before this battle, there were battles of Jiyi and Fuyi, and seizing this valley may be used for long-distance attacks. The last general thought that the valley mouth was less than 300 miles away from Wancheng, and tens of thousands of soldiers could be pulled out of Wancheng because of the food on the enemy. Bai Lin said again. Xin Wu's gaze was like a thorn in his back, making his vest wet.

"Oh. Wancheng. "Wancheng is the center of Nanyang County, and if the Chu army is really pulled out from afar, it will definitely paralyze the entire Nanyang County.

"Prime Minister: What Bai Duwei said is unfounded. Xiang Yanshan attacked from afar, but his long-distance attacks were all covered by mountains and forests. There are no mountains and forests from Biyang to Wancheng, and my Daqin has a strict path, and ordinary people are impassable without a talisman, not to mention tens of thousands of troops? Jing people do not have cavalry, it is necessary to walk to Wancheng for a few days, their army has not arrived in Wancheng, our army has arrived in Wancheng, and attacking Wan is the way to find death. ”

"Why does General Naxin think the Jing people want to capture this valley?" Chang Pingjun felt that Xin Wu also had some truth in what he said.

"The last general thought that the Jing people had captured this valley, but they did not dare to attack our army. As far as Jing is concerned, when attacking Jiyi, sealing my way into Jing is the first, and it does not attack Jiyi but attacks Magu, although I am not surprised, but what I get is useless, this should be the intention of the new king of Jingren. "All the men and horses under his command were half-crippled by the Chu army, and Xin Wu has been demoted. He didn't like a truce even more, so he spoke in a frightening tone.

"The Jing people don't dare to attack me?" Changping Jun smiled, "General Xin doesn't know anything, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Chu have discussed together, our country is in turmoil, and the king is very worried, so this is not the time to fight again." Tell your subordinates that if the Jing people do not go out of the valley, they shall not provoke war. ”

"The last general commands!" Xin Wu will be appointed to Nanyang County, a weak country bordering a place without war, naturally the relationship is not hard, this time to participate in the war, not promoted but demoted to make him very angry, but the overall situation is like this, his anger is useless.

"The last general commands!" Bai Lin's tone was completely different from Xin Wu's, he was promoted from a qu hou to a lieutenant in this battle, and he had to laugh out loud in his dreams.

"Let's go back." After taking a general look at the Ma Valley where the two armies were fighting, Changping Jun was relieved to learn that the Chu army had no intention of going out of the valley to attack again. Tomorrow, he will rush to the camp of Jiyi, and then cross the Huaishui from Jiyi into the Chu realm to negotiate peace with the Chu State.

Xiong Qi turned around and went to Biyang under the sunset, in the palace of Yingdu of Chu State, Zhao envoy Wei Jia was meeting the queen mother Zhao Concubine in Ruoying Palace. This time I went to Chu, dozens of cars of gold, silver, pearls and jade were loaded, and there were many Zhao Di mountain treasures and preserved meat dedicated to Concubine Zhao. In the past, Zhao envoys also gave gifts to Chu, but they had never been so generous. Fortunately, Concubine Zhao is also a Zhao person, and she has long known the utilitarian customs of her mother country.

"When the envoy came, the hand of the king's ministers, said that more than 20 years ago, he had gone out of the royal city and traveled privately, and when he returned to the palace, he was learned by the king, he was whipped moss, and the queen was imprisoned on the green balcony for several days......" Wei Jia actually talked about the past, it was the days before the Battle of Changping, and Handan was still not Handan with filial piety.

"It's all in the past." Concubine Zhao raised her sleeves and pretended to drink pulp, but in fact she wiped away her tears. Marrying into Chu is like a flight, in the morning Brother Wang said to enter Chu, in the afternoon he went out of Handan to board the ship, and transferred to Qi by waterway into Chu. At that time, the Qin army had already surrounded Handan, and as soon as they left the city, they could see the Qin army's camp tent and hear the two armies shouting for killing. A weak woman went to Chu to ask for help, and every time she thought of Concubine Zhao afterwards, she had to wipe her tears.

"Zhao envoy came to Chu State, why did he come here?" Concubine Zhao regained her mind and asked calmly.

"Tell the queen that this envoy was ordered by the king to enter Chu and did three things." Weiga replied.

"Please." Concubine Zhao put down the wine lord.

"One of the kings wants to form an alliance with Wei Zhao again to reject the Qin State." Weiga Road.

"It's natural. Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, and it is necessary to kill Chu for no reason, and the mother country should save it. Concubine Zhao nodded.

"The second king heard that the Chu State could refine huge iron and cast huge soldiers, and the special envoy asked for this technique." Weiga said again. "The two countries of Zhao and Chu are like brothers and sisters, and since they have joined forces to reject Qin, they should cultivate the spear together and hate each other."

"It's natural. Iron is like a thorn that makes people refined, and it is to say to him. The second thing is also very simple, Concubine Zhao agreed immediately.

"......" Wei Jia looked around before he said: "The new king is too young to rule, and he has not yet appointed Ling Yin, so the king dares to ask the queen to be regent." ”
