Chapter 711: Two Great Heroes
(Thanks to "Raxlo.")
"The precious monthly ticket of the book friend, even the three yuan, the general is mighty! )
Youzhou harvest, and state harvest, Pingzhou harvest, Sizhou production recovery rapid, Jizhou Xuzhou can also be self-sufficient, coupled with Qingzhou's harvest tug-of-war, now Beiping Prefecture can be described as a good news, after several years of natural disasters and wars, this year is finally a thorough wind and rain, it can be said that Liu Yi in the first year of the implementation of the two-year strategy, God seems to be very cooperative, which makes him extremely happy, and the relative recruitment of soldiers in each army has almost reached the state of eighty.
This result is beyond the expectations of Liu Yi and the people under his command, especially in terms of soldiers, after several years of stable and prosperous life, the people's support for the general has completely exploded at this moment, almost every recruitment point is overcrowded, the queue is long, and there are even old women to send children, young women to send husbands, the current eighty percent of the full state or Xi Zhicai gathered everyone's opinions and fully considered the supply situation in the next few years and made a decision, there have been a lot of restrictions, otherwise I am afraid it will only take a year, Liu Yi's army of more than 700,000 can be fully loaded, of course, Lang Sheng will not be reckless for this, the stable development of the states in Youzhou is the most important, and his two-year strategy is well thought out and will not change because of this.
In this year, Zhang Rong's Flying Tiger Army traveled back and forth between the islands more than ten times, and was extremely familiar with the weather and routes, and also explored the safest route, and the naval army he led not only became the main force of slave transportation, but also became the best object for Liu Yi to experiment with beach landing tactics, a total of more than 50,000 young men were brought back to Dahan by Zhang Rong, and even thousands of strong women chatted to make up the number, these cheap laborers were distributed to mines everywhere by Tian Yu, which greatly enhanced its collection capacity, This year, the output of coal and iron in Liu Yi's territory was three times more than in previous years, and these were all based on the blood, tears and bones of the slaves on the island, obviously King Yan did not have too much psychological pressure on this, and he did not mind that he might have a reputation as a tyrant in the future.
On the island at this time, the name of Liu Yi, the king of Yan, has been well known to many people, because with the help of Zhang Rongfei's tiger army, the hundred-eyed ghost of the Wa Kingdom is unparalleled, sweeping away dozens of neighboring small countries, and the prestige is soaring, and Liu Yi is the emperor of the Han Dynasty in their minds, since the king of the Wa Kingdom has been extremely obedient to it, and even written into their simple history books, Liu Yi will not forget the importance of cultural aggression, which is a more effective assimilation strategy than military means, for the understanding of these island people, Zhang Rong was happy to see it, in his heart, King Yan was already the emperor, not only did not stop it, but hyped it up.
In addition to the young and healthy women, Zhang Rong also transported back thousands of young women from the island, at first Liu Yi wanted to implement the law of prostitution, but because of the opposition of Zhang Hu and others, it was not implemented, and now the Youzhou Army has formed its own stable system, and does not need too much external stimulation. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yi still used it as a reward for meritorious soldiers and disabled veterans, solving the worries of inheriting the ancestors for them, and after the initial attempt, he also received good results, and now Cui Hao's mouth is not just about cultivating cattle.
After tasting the sweetness in this matter, Liu Yi slowed down the pace of capturing slaves quite steadily, and the task given to Zhang Rong dropped from four or five thousand a month to three thousand, in his heart, this is similar to cutting down trees, after large-scale felling, it needs to be cultivated, this is from a long-term perspective, it is a plan for many years, Liu Yi does not have much interest in occupying this island country, even if it is to be implemented, it will have to wait until the world is unified, if this place can provide him with 40,000 young men as labor every year in the next ten years, It has been a great help to the development of his subordinates. Moreover, although King Yan used the Hundred Eyes Ghost Family as a puppet, he never wanted to see them dominate the island, and the chaos here was the most beneficial for him.
As the leader, Liu Yi's words and deeds are imperceptibly influencing his subordinates, not to mention anything else, that kind of big country mentality has been learned to a lot, in their hearts, except for my Han Dynasty, everything is vassal, Tian Yu, who usually seems quite kind to the Han and even the people of Goryeo, has completely changed his face when dealing with the people of the island. The threefold increase in the output of coal and iron is not without a price, under the relatively backward mining methods in the late Han Dynasty, it is difficult to effectively guarantee the safety of the miners, Zhang Rong brought back 50,000 young men died within a year There are as many as 20,000 people, and more than 20,000 people have died on the job, and the remaining 20% are disposed of by the guards who guard them, so when King Yan proposed to reduce the capture of slaves, Tian Yu put forward a different opinion, that is, he is still a little insufficient to maintain this number, However, after Yan Wang's analysis, he still resolutely implemented Liu Yi's decision.
At this time, among the young people of those islands, if you ask who they are most afraid of? The answer is not Liu Yi, nor Zhang Rong, but Tian Yu, whenever someone can't hold back the torment and wants to escape from the mine, they will always be caught by the Youzhou soldiers who supervise them, and then what awaits them is all kinds of torture, and it is tortured in public, it seems that Huaxia has never lacked talent in this aspect since ancient times, and those punishments not only make the island slaves tremble, but they are used to seeing life and death, and the Youzhou soldiers who will not frown at the beginning of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood are very uncomfortable, which is by no means described by words, Anyway, now Lord Tian Yutian is no different from a demon in the hearts of those slaves, and even hearing his name is enough for them to wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night.
In fact, Tian Yu was quite wronged in this matter, almost all of those shocking punishments were from the hands of Tian'er, but the first few times were carried out by Tian Yu himself, and its various terrible features can be compared with the concentration camps in World War II, but one thing is different, the food in the slave camp is not bad, Liu Yi once went once, those island slaves were ruddy and strong in addition to their numb eyes, he asked them to come to contribute to themselves, naturally the stronger the better, The value they create will also be far greater than that ration.
In addition to the mines, the place where the most slaves are obtained is the dock of the Flying Tiger Army, where they are building warships day and night for Liu Yi's navy, where Tian Yu has a very clear investment vision, the slaves at the beginning are to meet the requirements of the dock to the greatest extent, only the Flying Tiger Army is stronger, he will have a steady stream of labor to come, which Tian Yu sees very accurately! Now a huge harbor has been built in Fangshan, near the sea, and the rows of large docks Liu Yi has the feeling of being in a different world, and the sound of clanging is even more hesitant to stay all night, and with the hard work of these slaves, the experimental work of Li Fengzhu and the people in the instrument institute has also been carried out more smoothly, and by next year the new warship will be able to equip the Flying Tiger Army.
In Liu Yi's two-year strategy, the development of the Flying Tiger Army is extremely valued by him, and now his fierce opponent is only the three heroes in the south, the value of the Yangtze River moat is completely highlighted, as long as he can drive Cao Cao across the Yangtze River, the blockade of the water army alone can be invincible, the battle of Yangzhou The battle of the water army has proved that the well-equipped and well-trained Flying Tiger Army has an unshakable advantage in the face of the most powerful Jiangdong water army, plus the second brother is in charge of the water army. Once the new warships are put into this great river, won't they let the Flying Tiger Army come and go freely? In the era of cold weapons, the navy is the special type of military that can best reflect the value of science and technology, and the existence of powerful human and material resources and equipment in Youzhou states is its strong backing!
This can be seen in the allocation of troops in Xuzhou, with the assistance of Pang Tong Xu Shu, coupled with the famous general Xu Huang of Youzhou Army, Gan Ning can completely devote all his energy to the training of the water army, and the rich lake resources here will also provide him with great convenience, Liu Yi is ready to carry out the teaching of the water army after the fourth phase of the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy, after all, in addition to Gan Ning, he has too few water talents, and those famous ones in history have long been divided up by the three heroes. He can only take the path of self-cultivation.
In addition to the contribution of the island slaves to the development of Liu Yi's subordinates, another important department that has to be mentioned is the utensils institute, which was already vigorous and upward after the addition of the Baimo people, they have made a qualitative leap, and Liu Lang paper and simple printing technology, which played a huge role in this debate, are only one part of it, and its role is reflected in various fields.
In agriculture, the improvement of water conservancy and the innovation of agricultural tools have liberated a large number of laborers from the land, and the land that originally required four strong laborers to take care of properly ten years ago is now only half of the original amount required in addition to sowing and harvesting.
And in commerce, once all kinds of new varieties appear, coupled with Liu Yi's propaganda and operation, it will become the target of the people and scholars everywhere, which makes the economic warfare of King Yan run more freely, those commodities can allow him to grab huge wealth within the subordinate territories of the princes of all walks of life, and out of the limitation of vision, this novel tactics that are completely different from the confrontation between the two armies can well evade their vigilance, when those people, soldiers and even the army are accustomed to the goods produced in Youzhou and other places, Once Liu Yi carries out a material blockade, you can imagine what the outcome will be.
Of course, as the most important part of the Yan King, the value of the equipment is concentrated in the military, the warships of the Flying Tiger Army do not need to be repeated, and the clairvoyant mirror is also equipped to the commander level, of course, its secrecy work is extremely meticulous, when Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Tai Shici and others will see the object through the clairvoyant mirror for the first time, their shock is by no means under the Zhang He of the day, and they can easily see the huge role that this thing can play in the marching array. Its appearance can even make the enemy's ambush strategy useless! And these are only part of the military role played by the equipment!
